Aquatic tank

[Deku]

I saw a YouTube video of a dwarf frog eating a betta, so I'm not sure if I go that route. If u opt for the 29 gallon biocube, would that be a better option? I may only include 3 frogs.

What species, if any would be best? After watching some videos, I definitely noticed they seem to stay on the bottom, which I questioned if just a shallow tank do?

I'm just doing my research now, as i want everything ready before adding anything. I really like the dwarf frogs, but is there any other aquatic species that would do well in either a 14 or 29 gallon biocube?

Or can I set up some sort of half and half tank? I would rather full aquatic. I miss having a tank set up. I really would like a few live plants in the tank.

If we are talking about the ONE inch african DWARF frog then I doubt that for the most part they would eat a betta. See "anything" can happen, but thats mainly if you dont feed the frog. A betta fish wont pose a threat to a dwarf since they eat very little. Again its just an observation I had made. A 29bio cube is actually pretty good. Depending on the dimensions that is. As long as its not taller than longer and wider. See when you get a tank for a frog you have to take under consideration these dimensions. If you got something like a 20high your frogs wont be happy. If you got a 20long they would do well and even not be aggressive towards each other. Though I highly doubt they are aggressive in the first place but Iam giving benefit of the doubt. Make sure you have alot of aquatic plants. Even if they are fake. Do you ever see those planted aquariums on youtube? The ones that have the bettas, tetras and so and so?
You can do that with your dwarf frog. This is why I love aquatic frogs. African clawed frogs also do well in planted aquariums. I suggest that if you want this to be succesfull provide proper hiding places for both the frog and the fish.

I suggest you add floating plants as well. Since the frogs eyes are upwards they tend to freak out if you put your hand on top of the tank(i know this for a fact). So when I had my clawed frogs they would 24% of the time hang around the floating plants.

Make sure if you get a good filter I would stick with a canister. Iam pro canisters because they help you with the necessities of keeping a tank clean. Which is what you want. You also want the bacteria to grow. when you get your tank set up.

You only need carbon for the first three days and when you are using medications(afterwards to clean up the meds) because carbon pretty much absorbs anything in the water; either good or bad. So all you need in your filter is bio balls(I prefer the macaronies since they have more space), phosphate remover(phosphate eats calcium which harms your frog), you could opt to add an "ammonia remover" I personally use it for my turtles but thats because they produce a LOT of ammonia. In any case if you add live plants they will serve as an ammonia and nitrite remover(the bad stuff).

But also if you have live plants you'd need CO2 diffuser for proper plant care and a proper plant light. In the end having plants(live) is worth it. Lets say your filter runs out or like there is a powerouttage. Your fish will be safe because the CO2 they produce through their gills will be eaten up by the plants meaning there will be more oxygen in the tank.

As for fish you can probably add with your frog are SOME live bearers(stay away from mollies they are a tad aggressive in my experience for dwares). You can add algea eaters but if there is no algea you will have to feed them algea disks. Again remember not to overload the tank with fish or else they will form an aggressive dispute.

Personally I prefer the schoalers(schools) because if you put them up in numbers they are stunning. I prefer the close schoolers. There are two types of schoolers the ones that are somwhat scattered and the ones that are close together like danios.

In my experience the danios I have delt with ussually schooled closely and sometimes they would spread out. You could also add shrimp NOT crayfish; shrimp eat any excess food. Should the frog want to eat a tank mate the ones they would eat first would be the shrimp. So its always good to buy the cheaper ones.

I would feed your frogs with tongs if possible to prevent anyone from not eating. Make sure the tongs are rounded.

On a side note danios like a bit cooler water but they also tolerate higher temperatures pretty well.

Its always good to add a tablespoon of aquarium salt to the tank. I find it that it helps keeps disease down. Its not a medication but it just "helps" i guess.

Also forgot to add fish to avoid:
-Barbs: Aggressive small fish that need to be in large schools to be peaceful.
-Crayfish:Predatory
-Clams: Will not survive due to the fact there is not enough food because the plants will eat it. They thrive in dirty water. Also the frogs may eat it.
-Puffer fish(dwarf) the cute little indian puffer fish is all tiny and petite it looks adorable. But this little guy can take out any inhabitant in the tank that is equal or two inches bigger than it. Puffers have teeth so don't underestimate them.
