i have a 6in wild pleco in my tank that loves bloodworms and so do the froggies. the frog will take the food right out of the pleco's mouth. a 1&1/2in frog stealing food from a 6in pleco. that screams dangerous.

i found one of my 5 frogs dead earlier, missing an arm and all malled. i thought he just died and the pleco eat was munching, but would a pleco eat a frog that is alive. i didnt even think about that till after i saw another frong steal his food.

those frogs are bold.

do you have anything else in the tank for example cichlids?

i have rasboras, tiger barbs, tetras (very dangerous tetras, they dropped out of school, do drugs and carry knives)clown loaches and dwarf gouramis

That's a pretty nippy tank, it could be a few things. If there are lots of hiding spots and they've been doing good for a while, chances are it just died and the others saw it as food and started in on it.

i have never seen a fish attack a live frog even when the frogs were taking on my big pleco.

but the question is would a pleco kill another fish/frog?

i know they would eat them if dead, but would they make them that way?

Some plecos can get a bit territorial, but I dont think they would get aggresive enough to kill. Liek said above, my bet is it died from other causes and the fish started having a bit of a snack.

Fish CAN fly!

thats what i figured, but if i was that pleco ild eat him.

this may sound crazy but i have seen frogs go after each other. i have had a few that have lost an arm or a foot and the only other fish in the tank were neons. unless they were killer frog-eating neons!?

i love the frogs but they are crazy. they will take on anything other then my grumpy gouramis.

I had a small Koi for a while (I was babysitting him)and I saw him try to eat my albino african clawed frog. He had his entire leg in his mouth and my poor frog was kicking frantically with its free legs trying to free himself. I rescued him from the Koi's mouth by tapping on the glass and removed him to another tank that didn't have any fish in it. His leg was really torn up and became infected. I treated the water with antibiotics but sadly he never recoverd and died about a month later. Needless to say that fish went straight back to its owner with a string scolding from me.
