Ideas For Betta Tank Mates?

[CuriouslyFishy]

I will be keeping my Betta in a 10 Gallon aquarium, but was wondering, does anybody have any good tank mate suggestions for a Betta? I heard that African Dwarf Frogs with a couple shrimp could be good. Is this true?

should be fine, just make sure they are dwarf frogs and not clawed frogs or its bye bye betta

If you get ADF first do some research on them.
There is a link in my sig that gives info on them.

You will have to take time during each feeding to hand feed them - ADF find food by smell, not sight. Which means that the betta will find the food first if you just toss the food in the tank.
Feed them in the same corner each time and they will learn where to go to eat when they smell food in the water.

HBH frog and tadpole bites are great for them. TREAT with frozen bloodworms. (Treat - do not make this the staple of their diet)

Could I put in 3 or 4 ADF's with a few Tetra's?

i wouldn't keep them with tetras personally they wouldn't get much food

frogs are always best kept in a species only tank - - especially for those who have no experience with them.

They are shy and sometimes difficult to feed. They are also extremely sensitive to water conditions.

White clouds are nice.
