Hello George

In my experience, European frogs Rana perezi will eat fish. I have often
seen fish tails sticking out of frog's mouths.
The ones I have in my pond were not voluntarily introduced but once
established are difficult to eradicate. 
On the other hand, I made an experiment with Aplocheilus lineatus and
found them to be good tadpole predators. Other fishes (goldfish, rosy
barbs, native European barbs and other cyprinids will leave them alone)
