I'm thinking of getting a few for my 55 gallon community tank. Does anyone have any information on them?

Well from your other posts, I would think that you are pretty much stockeed with your current idea. ADF do get a nice size and will eat anything that will fit in their mouths. The panada cories may become food and then the frog will die b/c of the cories spines.

We really like the frogs though so we'll just have to take the risk. If anything bad happens we have a frien who'll take them.

Why ask for advice if you are not going to take it?
Save yourself the time posting now and just buy the frogs.
Then when your tank is a mess and your fish start missing, you can post something along the lines of:
"Why are my fish disappearing and my frogs dieing?"

Good luck. You will need it

ADFs only grow to 1.5" plus legs. There is no chance of them eating Panda Cories or any other fish that is an 1" or larger.

i think you were thinking of the african claw frog when eatting other fish. my ADF loves blood worms, but they will stalk there food so sometimes mines is too slow and the otehr fish will eat the food.

African Dwarf Frogs will also eat any small fish they can catch. Just put them in a tank with a school of Neons and watch the tetras disappear one by one during the night.

I would not be surprised if a good-sized ADF tried to eat a Panda Cory, especially since that species is notorious for being imported at exceptionally small sizes.

I never did get them. It was just a stupid thought.
