Default African Dwarf Frog and Eclipse System Three

(Andrew Johnson) wrote in message . com...
Just curious if anybody can help me out. I bought an Eclipse System
Three (3 gallon) filtered aquarium and an African Dwarf Frog. Right
now I have a plastic plant and a small clay flowerpot for her to hang
out in. I feed her frozen brine shrimp and she spends hours jabbing
her snout into the rocks hunting. Then just relaxes in her cave.
Anyways, I used smooth medium sized (1/4" - 1/2") epoxy coated gravel.
Everything I read about these things says not to use anything sharp
or small for the substrate. They might hurt themseleves or eat eat
it. I also covered the intake with some cheesecloth so an arm or leg
wouldn't get stuck.
I was orginally thinking about adding a betta. I have one right now
in another 1 gallon aquarium but would buy another. But I have heard
that it is possible that they might not get along too well.
If I don't add the betta, would it be too small to add another frog.
I was also considering adding a couple of ghost shrimp. I am assuming
they pose no threat.
Does anybody else here have any other ideas what I could add without
overcrowding the tank?


The betta is a bad idea - please dont do it. You could add 1 more ADF
(they are quite sociable), but a 5 gallon tank would be better really:

I also would appreciate any ideas for a live plant.


Google for:
Java moss
Java fern
Anubias
