I want to add some ghost shrimp to the tank, but i don't know if my african dwarf frog will eat them. And I also want to add some guppies with them. Any suggestions?

My african dwarf frog ate an entire ghost shrimp.....I'm not sure if this is common, but it can be done, so I wouldn't risk it. If you have african dwarf frogs, I would say put them in a seperate tank with a secure lid, as they are escape artists. But ghost shrimp and guppies are ok.

Guppies, ghost shrimp and dwarf African frogs will be fine together. Just make sure you have a good filter and a heater on the tank. They are all tropical creatures.
The African clawed frog, which is probably what the first guy has, will get as large as a dinner plate and eat anything it can get in its' mouth. I have seen them chase fish all around a tank trying to eat them.

the first answer guy probably has an african clawed frog, which is sometimes sold as his cousin teh african dwarf frog. Make sure yours doesnt have sharp black claws on every toe.....i have and african dwarf frog with marble shrimp, snail, guppies, rainbowfish, and glolite tetras~!

ghost shrimp tend to end up eaten if you put them with just about anything other than small fish. a frog might be small but his mouth is big enough to snag one.

the answer is yes, not only did mine eat ghost shrimp but also my cherry shrimp and flower shrimp which are much larger than ghost shrimp, 2 inches.
