Question
i have recently bought two African drawf frogs. one of them has died with a severe rip in his leg. do you think my red thai crabs would have done this? also i want to know if they are able to go in the same tank as goldfish?
thanks

Answer
It is definately possible that your crabs have injured and killed one of the frogs. The frogs are probably a tasty meal for the crabs. The crabs and frogs should not be in the same tank. Yes, you can put the frogs in a tank with goldfish, however, the frogs prefer warmer water so you may have an issue with health for the frogs in the cooler water. But they can mix, just concerned about the temp. Let me know if you need more help.
