is that the problem?

Here is where size matters- you need to have more water room for gold fish they produce a lot of ammonia when they go(potty) and this can actually burn the scales off the other fish if it gets to bad- so.. it is best to keep them out- but not impossible to have them together- change at least 1/3 of the water every week to two weeks (depending on the size of the tank). never! remove the rocks from the tanks water completely- it has beneficial bacteria that live there and removing them kills the good bacteria and the bad ones overpopulate and kill your fish- OK- now about the frog- it will get big- see the mouth? anything that fits in it will be in it- this means any fish that it can eat- it will! the sucker fish will need to be supplemented with food if you do not have enough algae for them to eat(a piece of romaine lettuce tied to a rock is perfect treat for them, and other fish also) I have seen a sucker fish try to eat another of it's tankmates due to hunger-tropical fish? neon's? tiger barbs? need more info- but if they are neon's- the frog will eventually eat them-

You can't mix goldfish with tropical fish. Goldfish are dirty and require cold water, tropical fish require warm water and will die from the ammonia produced by goldfish. This is a terrible tank setup, you need to separate those fish immediately.

first, how many gallons is it? its probably too small for the amount of fish you have,, and you should not mix gold fish and tropical fish....some tropical fish shouldnt even go together. sucker fish-plecos-will out grow the tank.... where did you buy your fish? they obviously didnt know what they were doing, and spread that on to you.

it shoould be okay if ur tank is at least 40cm long. Water frog? i wouldnt do that. the rest are okay but i dont like the idea of goldfish with tropical fish. goldfish need clean water and air filter but tropical fishs are not picky....
should be okay ecept the frog! haha

yes. not to mention plecos need a lot more room than 10gallons. they get to be 18"
goldfish need 10gallons to themselves when young, and 20gallons to themselves when older. goldfsih really shouldn't be mixed with much of anything but goldfish.
the six tropical fish and the frog should be fin if you remves the plecos and the goldfish.
