Can Pacman frogs eat fish? What types are best for their diet?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Amphibian | Toad | Female | unspayed | 3 lbs

I have the slightest clue about amphibians when it comes down to having one as a pet. I've printed off a few "care sheets" that tells me about the Pacman Frog, but as far as the diet goes, I have been giving it earthworms, crickets, mealworms, and I even did calciworms once (in which the frog seemed to love). I saw that I can feed it fish, what type of fish can I feed the frog? Is there a specific type of fish they can eat? Or does it technically matter?

Thanks for reaching out about your Pacman frog. A wide variety of insects is best, and they should be gut loaded to provide additional nutrition. The type of fish more depends on the size of the fish and frog. Minnows or guppies should be fine for most smaller frogs.
Good luck.
