african dwarf frogs [wrong forum, I know]

[GiveMeABMW]

I'm thinking about getting a couple of african dwarf frogs for my
(non-goldfish) tank. Everything I'm coming across online says a 1+ gallon tan
is fine for them. I guess I'm too used to the goldfish, but doesn't this seem
too small??

I've got a 5 gallon with a lone betta in it and was planning to upgrade to a
10 for the frogs, but do I not have to now? Any help would be great!

i think the 5 gallon is fine for your 2 frogs and the betta so long as you
have a heater to keep the temperature stabilized and a filter to keep the
water cleaned. o and ya gotta make sure that your betta isnt a homicidal
maniac like mine is. he has his own 5 gallon, had a lil catfish in with him
and the bugger killed it. so now he lives with a small snail.

Yes, too small.

You can get away with a 5 gallon. 10 gallons would be better (leave
the betta in the 5 gallon).
