Thanks so much!. But also in my 5.5 gallon tank there is currently one frog by itself that I feed every other day. So should I do 50% changes every other day?

Also, my "grand scheme" is to house my frogs in with a betta (who is very mild mannered). When I introduce to qt frongs and eventually the betta, I plan to use seachem stability. And I plan to be prepared for diligent water changes. If this is completely crazy then I will have to try to find something a bit larger, but maybe less than 10 gallons. ( I am in college)
The 3 frogs and a betta would be about the max bioload I would have in a 5.5 gallon tank. Diligent water changes and some low light plants, such as anubias, should keep everything in order.
Sorry, I forgot you had a frog already in the tank. So please ignore my earlier post about not doing the water changes. He will add ammonia for the bacteria to thrive. Just try to keep the nitrites down so he'll be ok. Test daily and do a partial water change to keep it at 1ppm or less. This will lengthen your cycle time, but necessary for your frogs comfort and health. They can take low levels of nitrites for short periods of time, but over the course of several days it may have harmful effects.
If you would like to keep a Betta with your 3 frogs, I would get a 10 gallons, you never know, your betta can be nippy or as frogs do not have good eyesight they might nipped at the betta's tail thinking it's food, I would either get a 10 gallons for everybody or keep the 5.5 for the frogs and the 3 gallons for the Betta![]()
