can i have a frog and a crab in the tank with my fish?

And here's a random answer: I have no idea.

Depends on the tank size, current inhabitants, and the type of frog. If your wanting to add an african dwarf frog, then I doubt it would do well with a crab, as they both tend to occupy the same area, and the crab would no doubt be more aggressive over food, and the dwarf frog probably wouldn't end up with much if any. And if it's a clawed frog your looking at, they end up getting pretty large and will not hesitate to eat anything that looks like it might be a meal, including other fish.

what kind of frog...crabs not a good idea they need dry land access as well..we need more nfo though what kind of fish do u have? There was a almost identical thread posted yesterday.

ok. its only a fifteen gallon. its my first tank. also i have two albino tiger barbs in there right now. i wont get a crab but a dwarf frog seems cool.

Yea just make sure you get a dwarf and not a clawed they look similar

[Orion]

Sounds like a good plan then. You might just want to think about spot feeding the dwarf frog, as barbs are not likely to let a lot of food to get to the bottom for the frog to eat.

what if i used pellets instead of the flake things?
