hi i have 3 aquatic frogs in my tank, 2 small brown ones, and a white one thats about 4inch, will my two, 5cm oscars be okay with them, as im getting them tomorrow, i really dont mind if the oscars eat them, but i dont want it to be the other way around as the white on is a bit larger then 5cm, thanx for your advise in advance xxx

Good question.
I'm not sure about the big one...
The small ones may be eaten in some months, but they're not adviced oscar food for they can carry a lot of internal parasites that may be harmfull for your Oscar.
I say get the frogs a seperate tank, just to make sure.

I just found this:

If your tank is big enough and your frog as dumb as the one in the vid, your o may be fine.
No offense,for i don't know your frog..

that frog looks different to mine, mine is pure white, i think it was called an aquatic dwarf frog, xx

And your O won't stay 5 cm for long.
This is what an adult O will do with frogs...
And some monster this is!!!

so my oscars will be fine, why do some people feed frogs to oscars, and others say not to, its confusing xx

basically some people say don't if you are not sure of the source of the frogs.
they believe at some point, as Noddy had said, they could be a carrier or source
of parasite.... even in the animal planet show, there is a documentary that frogs
are good host for a parasite... on the other hand some people say don't because good specie of frogs are good for human too

Frogs from the wild not only carry parasites on the outside of their skin, but their whole intestines are covered in parasites and disease.
This may be different in your Tank-frogs, though.
As a treat a frog can be cool, but not on a regular basis.
Toads should be avoided at all times, for most have poisonous glands, that can hurt your fish.

agreed, if an oscar ate one of my toads they would be very unhappy very quickly lol

T

bear in mind yr oscars r going 2 grow really fast, wont be long until they will be a perfect portion size for yr o's!
