I am a teacher of 5/6 graders and my students have earned class pets. I got a 10 gallon aquarium, with a filter, and decorations for the classroom. At the pet store (well known chain store) they recommended 2 dwarf frogs and 3 mollies.
I had the aquarium set up ahead of time (about 2 days), before adding the fish/frogs. I feed them twice a day, once in the morning (when I arrive around 730 am) and once before I go home (between 4-5 pm).
The fish/frogs have been in their tank for about a week at this point. The water has started to cloud up and the frogs don't often seem interested in their food. For food: I have flake food, freeze-dried shrimp pellets, and blood worms. I alternate the flakes and pellets, but always give blood worms.
In the past, I have had dwarf frogs and they eat the blood worms with great exuberance. They cant get enough of them.
Any tips for the cloudy water or the lack of eating on the frogs behalf would be greatly appreciated. Also, was the pet store correct that Mollies are good tankmates for the frogs? The frogs are the main interest for the students.
My students and I thank you for your help!
