pleco eat a dwarf frog?

We added 2 african dwarf frogs to a community tank with a pleco, 2 angels, 2 three spot gourami, clown loach and rainbow shark. The only thing with a big enough mouth to eat a dwarf frog in the tank is the pleco, ever heard of them taking out a frog or two?

it's not impossible, plecos are omnivorous (something alot of people dont' realize) so rather than just relying on them eating the algae in your tank, you need to feed them just as well, if not better than your othre fish.

My plecos get peas, seaweed, sinking carnivore pelets and zucchini.

I would look more at your filter for the frog... I have had dwarf frogs for years w/ plecos and never had one eat a frog... I wouldn't say its impossible.. but I doubt they would...

Welcome to Fishlore.

Actually, I think pretty much any fish in there could be capable of going after an ADF.

Ditto and i lean more towards the gouramis and angels (if they are big)
