I have a divided 10g that on each side had 2 aquatic frogs and 1 betta (total 4 frogs, 2 betta in tank). One of my betta died sadly, so I pulled the divider out. I'm debating what I should do with it now. Should I get another betta and divide it again? I was thinking maybe a female? Do betta pair up? Or do they care? Should I get something else? What other fish would be compatible with frogs and a betta?
Another option I was thinking of... I have another 10g that has 1 platy and 3 mystery snails. I could put the snails in my main tank, the platy in with my frogs and betta then get a puffer or 2. I've wanted one since I saw the green spotted puffers! But would the platy be compatible with the frogs and betta? The betta is very docile. He was in a community tank and had to be removed because he was severely fin nipped.
I don't wasn't any nano fish like neon tetras. I want to stick with fish that are betta/platy size. Anyway, what does everyone think?
Thanks for your input!
 
I think your stocking is good just the way it is now. If not a nano fish, then its going to be tough squeezing in a similar sized fish. Definitely not any puffers are compatible.

Dwarf puffers are your only option for a 10g.
 
Thanks for the reply Terrance. I actually re-divided the tank and bought a really pretty female betta. My daughter named her Phoebe (get it fe-be, FEmale BEtta haha). She is being acclimated now. I'll post a pic once she has settled in the tank :) hope she will be happy in her new home!
 
Here she is! Colored up so pretty once she was in her own 5 gallons. My male could see her through the divider and went crazy for a few minutes. It was great haha! She has a good appetite and ate while still in her cup from the store. She us currently flaring at her reflection in the glass..
