What gets along with a sucker fish?

Question

I went to my grandmas creek and caught a sucker fish, crawdads, and tadpoles! what would get along with a African dwarf frog between these, and what do the crawdads eat? and what do the tadpoles eat?

Answer 1

Your catch won't do well with an African Dwarf frog - the frogs require tropical conditions (water temperature should be in the low-mid 70s at least) while the fish you caught probably won't like those temperatures, especially if you caught them from an area with cool water. Another possibility is that since the new animals came from the wild, they may have parasites, bacteria, and viruses to which your frog has never been exposed and has no immunity - they may cause his death. If you intend to try and keep them, they should be kept in separate tanks.

Cray fish will eat just about anything - including tadpoles and fish. I used sinking pellet fish food when I had wild ones. Tadpoles eat algae as the main part of their diet, but can also eat boiled romaine lettuce, alfalfa pellets, or cooked slices of zucchini.

Answer 2

if by sucker-fish your talking about a placostomos like in the stores....anything goes with those- they are docile and eat algae. the african dwarf frog i would say to get peaceful fish- you dont want them too small or the frog will eat them, but you dont want the fish nipping on the frog either. crawdad's i believe are scavengers and eat debris off the bottom- you may want to search them online to make sure. and tadpoles i would say either eat plant debris/algea also, or possibly the baby fish food. i have heard of people putting like egg yolk in for baby fish, but you may want to verify the egg thing and tadpoles in general.

i always look stuff like them up to help w/ care.
hope this helps.

Crawfish will try to eat everything in your tank. They will cannabolize and eat their own, they eat live plants, fish food, live fish, tadpoles, dead fish, dead tadpoles, etc. The African frog will be fine with the "sucker fish". The tadpoles will just turn into frogs, and depending on what kind of frogs they turn out to be, may eat your dwarf frog.
