Mike,
While the plants will quite happily digest the fish, I think you find
they won't react to favourably to the large quantity of nutrients in
their diet, since the plants staple diet consisted mainly of insects. Of
course the odd frog has been known to be caught, but this would not
happen on a regular basis.
