-Archer fish get to around 30cm.
-They are predatory. So they'd almost certainly eat your frogs once they're big enough.
-They're from northern Australia and New guinea. Bellfrogs are from a cool climate from what I remember.
-They produce a fair bit of waste which wouldn't be good for your frogs.

-There are many species of 'sucking catfish' . The most common would be the chinese algae eater. They also get to around 30cm, and are fairly aggressive.

I personally don't think fish should be kept with any frog species especially in a tank of that size. There's just not enough water for the fish to live comfortably.

I've seen a tank where young archers were kept with some Magnificent tree frogs. The filter had to be very efficient as the frogs produce an enormous amount of waste and like to poo in the water. Eventually the archers all died when the filter broke down for a couple of days and too much waste entered the system.
I'd get some very hardy fish like some of the native rainbows and blue eyes or gudgeons. They are also much less aggressive than archers

Hmmm, rainbows in a frog tank eh?
Methinks it'll be time for a trip down the local lake once i get some froggies then.
