If the fish are too small some fire bellies may eat them... Or try to. Mine went after a fighting fish and it was large. After that I added some guppies... They disappeared.

How easy is it for the firebellies to catch them? How long did the fishes last?

I'm wondering if a steady supply of food that is easily caught sufficient to keep the frogs full will dissuade them from catching the fish.

The set up I'm hoping to adopt will be made from a series of driftwood islands, heavily planted and a shallow water sort of platform for the firebellies to stray onto.

I personally would not put a betta in with firebellies. I have only had white cloud minnows in with mine. They are a pretty fast fish. My firebellies are fed every other day, so they are not interested in making the fish a snack. Below is a pic of my setup. There is about 10 gallons of water and 6 white cloud at the moment. I have an extra 10 gallon tank setup for excess babies if/when I need to move them.

Now that is a pretty sexy set up. I have a 20 gallon long laying around and now brainstorming some ideas. Thank you for posting this!

Omar- Thanks for the compliment. My guys love it! As a matter of fact I am sitting here listening to them calling like crazy.

How many could I get away with in a 20 long? I assume they are good swimmers? Gonna have to do more homework on these guys.

I would say five or six. I have five in my twenty nine gallon, which is the same length and width of a twenty long. The only difference is the height. Mine is eighteen inches tall,a twenty long is twelve.( My tablet is acting up and won't let me put numbers so I am having to write them out)

Awesome, looks like I have a little upcoming project on my hands then.

Thanks!
