  1. It is okay, but you need to make sure that  you have all female guppies so it doesn't get overstocked by their breeding in .3 seconds.  Those things are prodigious breeders.  You also need to check at the store and make sure that each guppy they sell you is not pregnant.  You can tell by a dark spot near the stomach/bottom fin.  They will sell you pregnant ones without saying a thing if you don't specifically ask.  


  2. no, your tank is not overstocked, it should be fine, keep in mind though that you may want to start with 3 guppies because you will end up with more (unless you pick all of one s*x, which is also an option)

  3. Yes your tank is an okay size for the 5 Guppies and and African Dwarf Frog.

  4. I have seen dwarf frogs in pet store chains. Please be careful though. I thought my frog was a dwarf frog and she turned out to be an African Clawed Frog. She ate my Betta Fish, so now she is alone in a 10 gallon tank.

    If you do get a dwarf frog, two or three guppies will be enough.  

  5. don't know what rocks/display puttin in i would put in next size up with eveything..sounds like you may add

    also concult local pet store for correct size and frogs..

  6. yes that is too much you can probably have 2-3 guppys and the frog.

  7. 5 Guppies and and African Dwarf Frog should be fine in a ten gallon, but i wouldn't add any more fish/frogs than that.  PetSmart does sell dwarf frogs for under five dollars i believe.
