Just watch out for the ones that just have webbed backs and are usually albino that's an african clawed frog they get huge and eat everything in tanks

ADF do great in a community tank. You just have to make sure you feed them seperate of the fish. Usually easiest with a turkey baster and frozen thawed foods like tubifex, blood worms and brine shrimp.

she is in with a beta (friendly), 2 guppies, tetra, threadfin rainbowfish, and 2 platys. i feed her her blood worms

those fish are probably OK,but the rainbowfish and tetra should be in schools.how big is your tank?the frog should also have some friends.

i should be getting a bigger tank this weekend so they can have schools. only have a 10g
