Should I buy this tank for my fish?

Question

I want to buy a cheap Goldfish Mini Bow 2.5-Gallon Aquarium Kit to hold a beta, 2 african dwarf frogs, and a mystery snail. The snail and the beta are both a couple years old, and the snail is .5 inch, while the beta is 1.5 inch. I love that the tank comes with everything I need including a filter; now, i was just wondering if all my animals could fit in the tank - or should i just get one frog; no matter what, i can't afford a bigger tank. Help.

Answer 1

You would only be able to put either 1 frog or 1 beta or 2 snails in there. Really there should be 1 frog or 1 beta in a 5 gallon tank. This is way to small!

Answer 2

The agreed size of a tank is 1 gallon to inch of fish. If it includes amphibians this should be reduced as you will need space for them to surface for air. 1 frog but don't expect them to live long. Without space to grow the animals will appear to stop growing however their internal structure continues to expand slowing crushing the organs. Sorry :(

Answer 3

I would suggest going with a 5 gallon instead.  Shouldn't be much more of a price difference, and they come with everything except the heater.  

Answer 4

That is perfect! 2 frogs is better than one b/c they are very social. That is a good size tank with good tank mates! Remember, the frogs base diet needs to be frozen bloodworm's, but they also like treats of mysis and brine shrimp and little pieces of krill.

Answer 5

You might want a bigger that is like 5 gallons or something like but if you can't afford another tank you can use a tank you had before and put the frogs in one and the beta and snail in the other one.

Answer 6

um you should go with on frog because they need the beta will take territory and if there are two frogs there wont be much room in less you add the betta a week later so it doesant take the other animals territory.
