my african dwarf frog killed 4 of my ghost shrimp, it ate the 3 little ones but the 4th is too big. I moved the last one to a 15 gallon. I didn't know frogs ate them. has this happened to anyone else? in the 15 thr only fish i am worried obout eating the last one is an australian rainbowfish. does anybody know if it will be safe in there?

well for one thing, frogs are very preditory, even wild frogs in captivity exibit wild feeding habbits, as goes with "tame" frogs but, if it moves, taists good, and even if it sometimes doesnt fit in the mouth the frog will try and capture it, why not set up the frog's own little tank with a tight fitting cover with no holes small enough for them to fit throgh, with land and lots of water, make the land small, and smooth the gravel/sand down in a diagonal moovement, and try putting a piece of glass or acrilic from the bottom going about half way up, just to keep its shape, and after that fill in the part between the bottom of the slope and the aquarium wall, so they have a floor too,
