I figure this is a good way to get the conversation going.
We currently have one community tank with a dwarf gourami, corydoras, neon tetras, a small colony of cherry shrimp, an assassin snail, and a plague of ramshorn snails that hitched a ride on some water lettuce we bought a few years ago.
A glofish betta? I’ve only seen glofish tetras, I didn’t realize there was anything beyond that.
I’ve thought of keeping frogs but haven’t taken the plunge. How do you like them?
Yeah they’re actually discontinued because they sold terribly. This guy was one of three left at a major chain store near me that sat for months in his cup. He’s got some bad finrot and got the point where he was limp on the bottom of the cup so the manager gave him to me for free. He is bright highlighter pink with cellophane fins.
The frogs were cool to start, but I made the mistake of putting them in with my male Betta that I’d raised from a fry. They were good for months until they weren’t. Lost my favorite frog Queso and my boy Dragonfly to the resulting wounds. It’s my fault, but my heart still hurts a little looking at them. So I wouldn’t recommend them in a community tank as I’ve seen them go for the endlers and kuhlis too. Do species only.
If you do go for them I’d give these tips:
That is all fantastic info. Thank you! We currently just have one big community tank, so we’ll definitely be holding off for now.
