Sorry, your tank is too small. :l Only shrimp and snails for you. If your tank is below 10 gallons, you can't have fish mates. Only the shrimps and snails.
yea, I hear that and then i see alot of people have some fish etc...in their 5g and theyre doing just fine...so i'm just curious... as far as the ADF i know some people have them in their 2.5g tanks so i know there is enough room for atleast them... but i dont know much about them... so idk if i even want them
A fishes bioload doesn't depend on size 100% a one inch gold fish will make a lot of ammonia , yet a 2 inch betta will make little. It depends on the species...
Also, cories are schooling fish and should at least have 5 together, same with neons except they can get aggressive when in small schools so 8+ is best.
Yes i agree on that but i believe (never had a frog though) that 5 pigmies would still be a lower bioload, after all they have cleaning properties as well.
actually just checked and the pandas have a higher bioload than the frogs or the pygmys ... :/ and the pygmys swim in the middle of the tank and not the bottom like i was hoping... so i guess its frogs
Eh... actually the pigmies only dif is size and bioload in comparison to the regular cories. They only swim in the surface to breath but yes they do swim in the middle occasionally.
A school of six in a ten gallon is a paradise for them.
We had a frog at one time. It was my daughters...we had it with a betta and the betta would always eat the frogs food so we had to "hand feed" the frog...and he ate soooo slow! It was cute at first then it became a hassle. We gave it to a friend who now has it in his own little tank.
yea i expect that to be a pain, but i plan on using a dish at the bottom to place the pellets with a turkey baster... hopefully it works... ill deff keep the pandas in mind though... they dont get as big as the regular cories
I change about 25% of the water out every other day or every 3 days as time permits. I test the water for ammonia once or twice a week and all has been well.
