Think I've found my perfect mix :)

My home tank has me pleased. I really enjoy watching the combination I
have - it's only a 12 gallon, so my choices were limited...

I now have

1 beautiful male beta, blue, turquoise and red
3 African dwarf frogs that dance around
2 Otos who mostly hide
3 huge snails that get all over everything

The bio load is not bad at all and they all get along beautifully. I had 4
platys in the tank & took them back to the fish store because they pecked at
the frogs and snails. It got to the point that I never even saw the frogs
and the snails didn't move!

Now that I put in a beta instead of the platys, everyone is out showing off.

Thanks for all the help here, everyone! Now if I can just get the tank at
work to settle down
