I am helping out a friend by taking his albino clawed frogs off his hands and was wandering if I could keep them with my suncatfish and bichir, (both 6"). The frogs 4".
 
at that size it might be ok, when I had one, my senegal tore it apart and ate most of it. Of course the frog was tiny and the bichir was probably around 6"...so yeah it was a terrible set up to begin with.
Hopefully it works out for you, that sounds like a sweet combination.
 
I agree, I think that could work. Basically the key to ACF/fish combos is larger non-predatory/non-nippy fish. As long as your bichir isn't particularly aggressive you should be fine. But if it's a smaller species like a senegal watch out as the frog grows; my senegalus is 2 years old and very small, maybe 7" and thin, there's no question an adult ACF could and would eat mine.
