I got a 3 gallon tank... what to put in it?

[OohFeeshy]

WEll then I'd say either a female betta or a Plakat male. And an ADF. The betta should eat betta food, the ADF bloodworms every day, and give the betta some bloodworms as a treat.

the adf won't nip a bettas fins.

And unless the fins are extremly long, they won't bother him. I have 2 weils and 3 crowns and they all swim all day long.

I keep them in 1 and 2 gallon bowls and IMO that is fine as I see them swim and they even blow bubllenests, which must mean they are quite happy.

a 3 gallon tank for any kind of betta is plenty IMO.

Yeah and you'll have a great tank! Good luck with it!

Personally I wouldn't keep anything in such a small tank, lol. That's just me though- The smallest i'm willing to go is like a 10 gallon. And I only have 3 fish in that.. lol. Buuut, I guess if you are going to put something in it, probably a Betta would be okay.. however, in my honest opinion, I don't like it. My betta loves all the room he has to swim around. But hey, ANYTHING other than those crappy little cups they keep them in is good! lol.

Anyway, whatever you decide- good luck.

Cool sounds like I might get a betta and two frogs then. One thing I'm still worried about is feeding the frogs though. It's quite a long way to the nearest fish shop, and I would have to persuade my parents to take me there. It is unlikely that I would be able to get there once a month, if that. Frozen food might not be a viable option. I read somewhere about blackworms - can you culture these yourself? Is there any sort of live food that I could keep and grow myself that I could feed the frogs with?
