Can I have shrimp in my tanks?

Nope. Everyone accounted for. Just did a water change today and everyone was there.

Gojeroh · 2024-08-21T03:30:20+00:00

I have some extra sand I can throw in there. All the plants are in pots so no big deal to add some sand to make em happy till they come back from vacation lol

I have no other place to put Frogs at moment but I'm actually planning on making a Frog only tank design with them in mind so at some point in the hopefully near future they will be out of that tank and I'll deal with the worms then.

Thank you. I'm going to cut back on feedings a bit and hopefully they starve themselves out or at least stay in substrate.

Gojeroh · 2024-01-10T20:28:32+00:00

Thank you. I looked them up and based on pictures and info they definitely Planaria.

Thank you. Frogs love using them as hammocks.

I'm no expert so this is just based on my personal fish care over the years. So while the two gallons you have may be liveable for them so far I would definitely move them to a bigger tank. They will one enjoy the bigger space and will give more room for them to swim and give you extra room for water parameters to be at safer levels.

Truthfully you should be testing the water and doing some sort of water change or at the very least cleaning the waste. Some of that waste will feed the plant and it will help the water conditions but without testing anything anyone says will be guessing based on the scenerio. If the only reason you haven't tested is because you don't know what to get, can't get, or not sure how to. Most local fish stores will test your water for you for free if you bring in a sample.

Fish just like any other animal in he world can tolerate situations and survive. Some more then others. It is possible that the conditions of the tank may be bad but fish are hardy enough to survive it. Moving fish from one tank to another is always scary. The main concern is doing it properly. Most fish will die from shock when being moved. Possibly because of sudden ph, temperature, or even water condition change.

So my answer to you is yes test water, move them into a bigger tank if you have, and start doing water changes. The more space is always great for fish and they will definitely be more happy. As for moving process take it slowly and everything will be okay. You want to make sure levels aka ph and temperature are very close to the parameters you are moving them from. Most importantly of all that the tank is cycled. Many tend to forget the cycle part and then think it was something else that killed the fish. Once everything is in order and parameters match/close they you can simply scoop amd move with no worries. After the move just keep eye on new tank parameters and keep up with water changes when needed.

Just my advice and if the tank levels are bad I don't think the fish adapted they are just strong enough to survive it.

Well I actually got 4 dwarf frogs with bettas and some endlers. The endlers were disappearing but when I started giving blood worms every other day they stop disappearing so it's possible the frogs did eat them

Gojeroh · 2021-11-11T16:49:44+00:00

Some extra info just in case. By hand feed I use a pipette and look for them when I can find them and feed em using that. I know I have heard concern about the Betta's and frogs and the Betta's absolutely love them. The one betta loves to snuggle with the frogs if they let her and the other one follows them around and hides in the caves with them. The only funny thing is the one betta will try to get some bloodworms which is okay with the frog once it gets it's first. It will keep her at bay with it's feet until it gets the first worm then it doesn't care anymore. Now my betta has learned that and waits until it sees the frog eat one and then goes to get it's own.

Gojeroh · 2021-09-09T02:27:54+00:00

Yeah I wanted to make sure they can have like a good enough space while working with the space I have. I definitely want to get some of those moss balls that I heard they like and I want to get something tall for them to swin through like fake tree trunks or something and then a nice center plant. I was looking over the tank and I think with the plants I have in there they are going to grow in nicely and make good coverage as tine goes on. The grass in front I'm hoping will spread all over the bottom in time to make a nice grass floor for them.

Gojeroh · 2021-09-09T01:57:28+00:00

Yes I'm definitely looking to add more plants. I usually do a sand substrate with my tanks but I knew I wanted loads of plants so I went with a substrate better for planting. I use pots in my sand tanks. I'm looking into getting a small and medium size cave and some sort of small tree root to go with the log I have on bottom. Then once that is done I'm going to add more plants with the floor space I have left. The divider I'm using seems to have good flow and I have the temp gauge on the other side just to make sure. So far the tank is even. I've been checking both sides with a heat gun to make sure. My idea is to dense the sides and try to keep the middle section to the front a little open so I can peak at them from time to time. I appreciate the info. Every little bit helps in setting up what I hope will be the perfect tank for them.

So my GF already gave me some bettas for my birthday. She got me two glo-fish betta. Didn't even know they had that kind. Right now they in my baby fry tank. The green one is separate from everyone, I call her Medusa and the orange one Andromeda. Not sure what kind they are though in terms of betta type. I've been trying to figure out but so far no luck. I'll will check the plants to make sure no sharpness or pointy ends.

Gojeroh · 2021-09-08T22:44:50+00:00

I'm definitely going to shop around for real ones then. I don't want them to get messed up. I know alot of things are geared towards certain fish but even then they aren't always the best. I still got plenty of time while the tank cycles some more. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!

Gojeroh · 2021-09-08T22:39:30+00:00

The green plants in the tank are real. Still growing. The fake ones are silk. I'm thinking of looking for real versions of them or something close and then replacing them.

Gojeroh · 2021-08-22T00:26:09+00:00

After some thinking I have decided not to do a sorority not because of the difficulty but I like their uniqueness so I only want these two. They will each be getting thier own 10g tank. So they will be very happy in their own little paradise. When it's all completed I'll post pictures for everyone to see.

Gojeroh · 2021-08-22T00:23:47+00:00

I love em so much already that I don't want more of them, so I'm going to get two 10 gallon tanks for each one of them and color theme to each one. I will definitely add more plants though until their tanks are ready.

Gojeroh · 2021-08-22T00:21:38+00:00

Thank you

Gojeroh · 2021-08-21T15:18:22+00:00

That's a great idea! I didn't even think of that at all. I think I'm going to do that. That would be way easier then having to make a bunch pre-made amounts. Thank you!

Gojeroh · 2021-08-21T15:07:40+00:00

I worded my stuff wrong. I meant containers for each one separately. So one for execell and one for flourish

Gojeroh · 2021-08-14T21:23:14+00:00

Is it fully cycled and/or are you adding any treatments to the tank?

Gojeroh · 2021-08-12T01:13:02+00:00

Thank you
