I've been thinking about adding 4-5 dwarf frogs to my tank. The problem is that I have a couple of fingernail size super red bristlenose pleco babies that I don't want to be eaten. I've asked a few people and the responses have been variations of "I don't know", "they'll definitely eat them", and "they should be fine because plecos aren't very appetizing to other creatures". Should I just wait a couple of months? What are some of your thoughts?
 
Id wait it out. Frogs, most amphibians actually tend to be quite ravenous. They will try to eat most anything they think will fit in their mouths. And typically once they start there really isnt much turning back. That would end up being unfortunate for both the pleco and frog as theyd probably both die in the process.

I agree with this. Let the Bristlenose grow a bit. The African Dwarf Clawed frog will work with bigger Bristlenose.
