Can a Betta live off of a diet like this?

Posted on September 21, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

This is a 5 gallon tank with an African Dwarf Frog and a Betta.

Sunday: Morning, Frozen Bloodworms; Night, Frozen Daphnia

Monday: Morning, Frozen Mysis Shrimp; Night, Frozen Brine Shrimp

Tuesday: Morning, Frozen Bloodworms; Night, Frozen Brine Shrimp

Wednesday: Morning, Frozen Daphnia; Night Frozen Mysis Shrimp

Thursday: Morning, Frozen Bloodworms; Night Frozen Mysis Shrimp

Friday: Morning, Frozen Daphnia; Night, Frozen Brine Shrimp

Saturday: Both will fast.
I’m just trying to add some variety. If you have any other ideas that you would like to contribute, I’d accept it.

P.S. I think that frozen food is WAY better than Pellet or Flakes. I will accept some freeze-dried for my Betta.

I’m starting a new tank with a Betta and a African Dwarf Frog, any suggestions?

I have a 5 Gallon Tank. With a Whisper Power Filter, Medium. I plan to lower the current somehow. Although my Tank is cycling right now, I have a couple of questions. I Put gravel, Silk plants and a little decorations, no Chemicals to water yet, And in my last pH test, a 7.6. I will put API’s Stress Coat. WIll this harm the frog? And if it will, what other Dechlorinizer should I use? I hate a heater in there, and I unplugged it because of the temperature. I Have an Air stone in there. And will be feed my Frog Frozen Brine Shrimp. My Betta some Freeze Dried Brine Shrimp, Blood WOrms, and Frozen Brine Shrimp. And I will add some live plants. Most likely a plant called “Betta Bulbs.” Well.. That’s the product name.

Main Questions:
Will Stress Coat be ok for an African Dwarf Frog?
Is there any sorta food needed for the Frog?
What should the pH level be for both?
Will they get along happily?
Any other live plants that both would like?
How can I lower the current from my filter?
Will Stress Zyme harm any of them?
Does a frog need a varied diet?
If it needs a Varied diet, What do I feed it?
Can the frog live in an aquarium with some Aquarium Salt?

African Dwarf Frog?

Posted on December 16, 2009 by admin| 4 Comments

I just bought an african dwarf frog. It died after 6 days of having it. It was in a tank with two other tropical fish in a 5 or 6 gallon tank. I tried to feed it Frozen Brine Shrimp, and Baby Shrimp. I think it died from starvation. Did I feed it wrong, or did I give it the wrong food?? Would bloodworms work better?

would 5 neon tetras and 2 african dwarf frogs fit into a 5 gallon tank together?

Posted on December 11, 2009 by admin| 6 Comments

also i recently got another dwarf frog (so that makes the 2) and after he was in the tank for a while i noticed a white little thread of something. is it the fungus or just some skin they shed? im putting the frozen brine shrimp in with fish flakes for them to eat .would that be ok. and after i added 3 more tetras and another african dwarf frog the tank has gotten much dirtier faster even w/ the filter what can i do.now i have 5 tetras and 2 dwarf frogs but should i get another tank or get rid of some. and lastly what if the frogs mate and how can i stop them?
and i’ve looked up info on them but could anybody give me some websites or good info?
ok yesterday one of the neon tetras got caught in a plant and died. so now would it be fine?
ok most of you were right. another fish died so now i have 3 tetras and 2 frogs but that should be fine. i cleaned out the tank and put in a new filter cartridge but the 2 that died were the new ones and maybe they were sick. Anyway they’re all healthy looking and have been fine. Please give a response and maybe a website i could visit to get more info.
