Hello guys
I've had male betta fish in the past, but I'm looking to do something a little different with my next tank.
This tank will be in my college dorm room.
I'm looking to get one that is 5-10 gallons. So when making suggestions, it would be super helpful to make one that is both for a 5 gallon and one for a 10 gallon.
I've really no idea what I'm doing, as I've never ventured out from bettas (RIP Spaz - 4 years old; Angel - 2 Years old; and Finne - 2 years old).
I did have some African Dwarf frogs as a child... but in all honestly, I'm sure I didn't take care of them properly, and I don't really know how to now. My 5th grade science teacher gave them to us after our in class project on them.
I've just been looking around on PetSmarts Live Fish website, and I think it would be cool to have:
1-2 African Dwarf Frogs
1 Nerite Snail
1-2 Guppies
...BUT that's going off of "looks" alone, and I don't want to do that. I need some help from those with experience. Could I keep this amount of fish (er... well, animals, as they're not all fish) in a 5-10 gallon tank (if not, please tell me how many of each I could have). Also... are they even compatible? According to PetSmart, the water temperature for all is the same. Would the frogs chomp on the guppies, though? Or, maybe the other way around? The Nerite snail isn't one that magically has babies all by itself, right... because I don't want a snail epidemic!
So yeah... totally new at this, any help is appreciated!
