I have an african clawed frog. can i keep it with my goldfish.?

Question

I have a beautiful albino african clawed frog. she is in with some huge oscars at the moment, but i would like to keep her in the front room with my goldfish. The tank is the same temperature. Will she be ok with them?

in answer to one of the answers i received about how to look after goldfish - my fish are in a f**king 6 foot aquarium NOT A BOWL!!!!! I KNOW HOW TO LOOK AFTER GOLDFISH I HAVE 10 BEAUTIES IN THE TANK, AND THE WATER IS THE SAME TEMPERATURE AS THE AFRICAN CLAWED FROG'S!!!!

Answer 1

I'm hoping you wont yell at me about this but should you have your goldfish tank so warm? The african clawed frog is supposed to be tropical so at least 75 degrees but thats past the goldfish limit. I know its hard to cool a tank though. So I guess the other question is do you think the frog is big enough to try and eat the fish or anything else alive in the tank because if he can he probably will. Vice versa for the goldfish eating the frog, sometimes they get overzealous when picking the gravel for food.

Answer 2

do no longer placed the goldfish the the african clawed frog. i've got been given a clawed frog in DEc. in with my goldfish and my fish ate my frog so plz do no longer except you have a tank seperater.

Answer 3

You should check if both animals are within the same temperature range. Goldfish usually like water that is at room teperature.

Answer 4

no
Okay, here are the rules for keeping goldfish. They are not the simple, easy fish to keep that people have stereotyped them to be. There are a lot of rules to taking care of goldfish. Sorry this is so long, but we're starting from the beginning here.
Goldfish have a fast metabolism, which means that they create a lot of poop. A lot of poop translates to high nitrogen and ammonia levels in the water. As such, goldfish CANNOT be kept in a bowl. Goldfish need 10 gallons of water PER fish for fish up to 3 inches. They need 15 gallons of water PER fish for fish up to 4 inches. They need 20 gallons of water PER fish for fish up to 6 inches, and it can get to be as much as 60 gallons of water PER fish for fish around 12 inches in length. So, you must get these fish out of that bowl and into a 30 gallon container. I'm sure you can't afford to run out and get an aquarium, so those plastic storage bins work great as a make-shift aquarium. They are marked in gallon increments, so look for one that is a minimum of 30 gallons. Look for a container that is about 36" x 18" x 12" in one way or another. Water must be cycled before you add goldfish to the water. Cycling is a process that "ages" the water and takes out the chlorine, ammonia, nitrogen and gets the water balanced with beneficial bacteria. You don't have time to properly cycle the water now, so for now, you can do a mini-quick cycle. Use as much spring water as you can. Go to the store and buy those gallon jugs of spring water. I know it's expensive, but even getting half the water will help since you have an emergency situation here and don't have time to cycle the water naturally. Then go to a pet store that sells aquarium supplies and get some dechlorinator, a ph stablizer for goldfish, it should be for a 7.0 ph level, get some Stress-Coat and ask them for some live bacteria. It is live, so it has to be kept in a fridge, so it won't be on the shelves. Get these things added to the water according to the directions. You also will need to get some test strips for, at least, ammonia, but they sell strips that test the whole range of water parameters. Try to get the water to the needed requirements, but for now, you may not have time to get the ammonia, nitrates and nitrites in their proper range, but learn how to do this for future water changes. Goldfish need a lot of air in the water. Pumps come in sizes as to how many gallons per hour they pump. The rule for goldfish is that you buy a pump that can pump 10X the gallons per hour that your tank is. So, if you have a 30 gallon tank, you need a pump that pumps a minimum of 300 gallons of water per hour. So, you need to buy a pump as well and get that going in your tank. Then you can add the fish. You never completely change all the water in an aquarium. For goldfish, you take out about 30% of the water once a week and replace it with cycled water. You also need to get a siphon so that you can suck out all the uneaten food and poop that collects in the gravel. You do this once a week as well. I have included a link below that tells you how to cycle water. Because goldfish produce such high waste, they only need to be fed once a day and just enough that they can eat the equivalent of about two mouthsful. Whether you feed flakes or pellets, you need to soak the food before feeding so that the goldfish don't get air in their stomachs. Remove any uneaten food after 5 minutes. Goldfish also need a variety of foods such as dried bloodworms, frozen brine shrimp, dark green lettuces (not iceberg) and spinach, frozen peas or boiled peas, chopped eggs, cucumber, fruits such as oranges, grapes, kiwi fruit, etc. Again, take out anything that they don't show interest in or don't eat all of it. Read the rest of the different sections on the site I gave you to familiarize yourself with how to take care of goldfish.
