My Betta's Newish Tank

[Mikaila31]

I set this up about a month ago . Living in it is my rescue betta Monty, one African dwarf frog, and 3 cherry shrimp. Enjoy

Nice layout and I'm sure that your betta loves it. Plus the picture of the frog is super cute!

i thought frogs were aggressive to long finned fish? like they nip their fins?

Monty the betta was in a community tank for a while but after a few months he became very possessive with food. I wasn't able to feed the corys and Monty blew up like a balloon. In his new tank he hasn't bothered the frog, apart from stealing his food . I only once had a problem, when in the middle of the night the frog bit his tail . Monty who was sleeping took of like a rocket. The frog let go on its own and poor Monty had no idea what had happened. Since then I haven't had a problem and Monty knows from experience that he can't catch the shrimp , But he still likes to steal the frog's food .

Also some other info that I forgot to put up, the tank is 2.5 gal with a 13watt light. I dose fertilizers but no CO2 and the tank is open on top. The plants are Java moss and either Dwarf Sagittaria or pygmy chain sword.

Cheers,

Gah! I LOVE the look of planted tanks! Where do you get your plants from? I'd love to get Darby some nice plants, but I can't find anywhere nearby that sells quality plants. Is that java fern you have sprouting on the log?

Monty and company have a beautiful tank. Well done!

Brilliant tank, lovely looking inhabitants. I'd love one of those frogs, but it looks like you can't get them in Australia. I'm going to start searching to see if I can get one of those shrimp. That shrimp really adds some colour to your tank family.
