My sis is giving me a 5g tank with everything what can I put in it? I was thinking a few afd and maybe a bettA what else??? :)
 
Betta, some shrimp, and a couple plants, no AFD(IMO).

It's 5g, keep that in mind.
 
They should be fine... Can I have shrimp with them or will they eat them? I might just do 2 adf and a betta.

The betta may or may not eat the shrimp...depends. Just get cheap ghost shrimp then go from there:) im not sure about the adf's though. I thunk you should just make it a knarley shrimp tank...nothing like it!! I wouldnt get a beta unless you could find a sick white or orange on! Thatd be cool IMO
 
I know what works in 1 tank may not work for another but I'm gonna at least try 2 frogs. I have shrimp in another tank.

White,orange... Crazy what's your fav??

Crown tail
Half moon
Or other?

Oh man ya a beautiful betta would be awesome they must be rare cause I've only seen like 2 or 3 white ones...

The thing is sometimes they are from Walmart or petco and they are really damaged :(

You know that isn't a bad idea I'll do some searching today.
 
If you're willing to spend like $40+ you can get some pretty insane bettas.

e.g.,

e.g.,

Ah. A bleeding black orchid. :) the most beautiful of bettas. Followed closely by the even more scarce and newly bred golden orchid.
 
You might be able to get away with a couple of ADFs and a Betta it would largely depend on their personalities as the Betta may nip at the frogs. Just something to watch for.
