Welcome to Fish Lore
I moved your question to a thread of it's own.
I'm sorry I don't know about the compatabilty of cichlids and African Clawed Frogs.
I wouldn't try an African Dwarf Frog in such a large tank wih cichlids.

I would not try a frog in with ANY cichlids. What type of cichlids do you have?

billyh

i have yellos and maingano so far but i saw in another post on cichlid site someone else had a frog so i was curious
i didnt think you could do it either but someone did
i am trying to wonder what else to add to my tank in time
thanks lucy

I would think that a frog would become food when it was young. If it's a clawed, they will stalk down small fish wehn they get older.

The frogs will have different water requirements, dietary needs, and won't be able to stand the aggression level for long with mbunas IMO. A lot of people have done this or that, that doesn't mean it will work or should be recommended. Again, JMO.

i agree that i wont due it but it had me curious
still want to knwo what i coudl put with my fish tht isnt a cichlid but realize its limited
i just posted my comment on anothers site that said they did it adn then it got bumped here

HN1

What sized tank is it and what's in it now? You may be able to add synodontis cat(s).

Synodontis species tend to work well with many African cichlids.

billyh

125 gallon
will see if the synodontis is available here or not after all fish added
in it now are 12 yellow labs and 6 that i think are maingano but the LFS called cobalt blue grrrr
