My First Tropical Tank

[chardonnay1000]

i prob wouldnt get df as they need alot of space and they shoot from the bottom of the tank to the top real fast.

DF meaning dwarf?

yeh dwarf frog, .. be wary though alot of lfs call frogs either albino dwarf frogs, which there is no such thing or simply dwarf frogs... they grow bigger than your hand and eat all fish, the main difference between frog is that if the fingers are like claws, it is not a dwarf frog and will get huge real quick, whereas the dwarf frog has webbing in its fingers, that a proper one. hopes this helps.

Hopefully they'll leave you alone now. Sorry, I was thinking of saying something like that in my first reply but it wasn't my place to say something of that sort. Anyways, on to your question...

Back to the subject

Nice set up, Actually looks quite professional, I like a shoal of neons.

 

[stang1]

Neons are a beautiful fish but be careful about keeping them with a Betta as they tend to nip fins. I learnt this when I had my first fighter who I kept with 6 neons. Every opportunity and they'd nip his fins so I put him in his own tank in the end.

yes I've been told that they nip fins - i will take the risk and i've also been told i'm likely to get another tank if the nipping does occur and then i guess i'll be a real fish fanatic!
