FISH HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!???/??

Question

I have 1 algae eater who is almost 5 1/2 inches. 2 frogs, about 3 inches, and that's all. In a TEN gallon tank. The frogs are grey clawed (that's what the pet store said, not very helpful!) and I don't want them to get big.

Should I return them, and get some smaller fish and smaller frogs? Like the spunky african dwarfs? I would like a frog that won't get as big as my pinkee @ full growth.

Answer 1

Get rid of all of them,

1. Buy a Snail or Shrimp, since they clean and stay smaller.

2. Get A few Guppies if you're looking for smaller fish.

3. Add African Dwarf Frogs if you'd like.

4. Stick with the 10" of Fish per Gallon. It works pretty well, though I usually go over it.

Answer 2

your "algae eater" sounds more like a pleco. get a chinese algae eater. they rarely get big.

Answer 3

an algae eater is not a fish its a common name for many bottom-dwelling fish that feed on algae

what sort of algae eater do you have

Chinese algae eater

Siamese's algae eater

plecostomus

or

bristlenose plecostomus (small type of pleco)

i think all these fish need more than 10 gallons

---------- ------------- -------------- --------------- ---------- ----------------

do not get a chinese algae eater as stated above. they grow large and kill fish

Answer 4

i am going to guess your frogs are albino clawed frogs...they do get a good size and will eat fish...definitely return them and go with african dwarf frogs...they will stay small and not harm anything..

Answer 5

Your algae eater will almost always get big,no matter what size you get.Frogs also will grow.Like any fish or animal,they don't stay the same size.

Answer 6

If you don't want large critters...take them all back...the pleco will get huge...clawed frogs bet bigger than a base-ball....in a 10 gallon you could have 1 dwarf african frog, 3-5 Tiger barbs, 2 Cory Cats, and 1-2 Jellybean Cichlids...( watch the Jellybeans...some people dye them, if the color in bright yellow-purple-blue-red- they are dyed, they won't live long...Jellybeans should be white or a very light pink) I'll include a pic of mine, they are not dyed, all these fish prefer warm water about 78-80 degrees. Good luck.
