    African Dwarf Frogs?

    I have two african dwarf frogs in a hex 10-15 gallon tank with 3 zebra danios, 3 neon tetras and a snail. The tank is fully cycled, with a heater, filter, bubble wall with plenty of hiding places. One of my frogs eats like a pig, and will eat the snails algae wafers, the fish flakes that I...

    ok, I will give it a try in the next couple of weeks or so... The third neon and tetra are new, so i'll give them time to adjust before I introduce the betta...

    Add my betta?

    I'm really confused, when i ask around, most people suggest zebras mixing with bettas should only be in larger (20+) tanks, with a minimum of 6 zebras to prevent nipping.. otherwise, my bettas fins will be shredded. Ive also heard they dont like air bubbles or water flow. But others say just...

    Add my betta?

    also, I have a few plastic plants in the tank, as well as a rock with lots of fun areas to swim through. I know the smaller fish love it, but will this be okay for the betta? If you havent noticed, I really am kind of nervous about putting him in the tank as I know my zebra danios are pretty...

    Add my betta?

    Should I not try then? I don't want the betta to be stressed. Or would he be better off in the community tank with the danios and neons even in spite of possible fin nipping, rather than the lonely 1 gallon bowl?

    Add my betta?

    Should I watch for fin nipping from my betta or towards my betta? In other words, should I assume my betta will be okay in it's new environment and be more concerned about the other smaller fish? Hate to say it but I am more attached to the betta than the others, although it would be great if...

    Zebra Danio staying at bottom of tank...?

    looking scared... and kind of hovering still... The other zebra danio is happy and energetic and the other two neon tetras are doing fine. i also have a snail who seems to be doing okay... have had all of them for a couple of months now, in a 10 gallon tank.. any ideas?

    Fish have all died - What did I do wrong?

    thanks... should i soak the decorations in vinegar too? I dont want to over-do it, but I want to be certain all the abrasive cleaners are gone from the tank. It was kind of traumatizing, watching those little guys die so quickly. I am also going to try fishless cycling. I've never had a problem...

    Fish have all died - What did I do wrong?

    I had an old aquarium that I retrieved from my dads house, and set it up yesterday... I know how to set up a tank and am usually familiar with caring for freshwater fish. However, after the fish were put in the tank yesterday to start the cycling process, less than 5 hours, they were lying on...
