I have a 20 gallon with 10 live plants, 2 African Frogs, 2 Albino Frogs, 1 Mystery Snail and 5 very small clams. I was just wondering, does anyone think I can add anything else to the tank and I'm not talking Fish? I was thinking like another large snail or even another frog. Just a question to to throw out.

Also I have a 5 Gallon with 2 Cardinal tetra, 7 Ghost Shrimp and 3 live Plants. Can I add anything else?

I also have a 10 Gallon with 2 live plants and 2 small Angels. I have been told 2 Angels in a 10 gallon is over stocked, but who knows. What you guys think? Is it over stocked or can I add more?


I know my 29Gallon is to the max and also do not want to add anything else.
 
The angels are going to need to be moved into a bigger tank than 10gallons I'm afraid. As for the 20gal I wouldnt worry about putting snails in as they add very little, if anything at all to the bioload so add as many (within reason) as you like. Also are the albino frogs the same as the african frogs? I have a feeling that the Albino ones may be African clawed frogs and the african ones may be African Dwarf frogs. If this is the case you need to get rid of one lot as the Clawed frogs grow to around fist size and will simply eat the others. You can check on a pinned topic on here about frogs, I will try an find it for you. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news btw.

Try this link to see what frogs u have.
 
I think your angels are at risk of being stunted in the 10 gallon. If I were you I would rehome them and do something completely different with that tank. It is basically a nano tank, so think nano fish. Plant a jungle and have a school of tiny jewl-like fish. Or if your frogs turn out to be of different species, this would make a good home for the African Dwarf frogs.
I know you didn't ask advice about the 29 gallon, so please excuse my shoving my oar in, but I would also see about rehoming the silver dollars. They are schooling fish, they are meant to grow large and they need quite a bit of room to move.
 
5 galls doesn't give much space for your tetra's to swim around in, and again, they really need to be in groups. IMO you shouldn't add more cardinals or anything else to that tank. Could you move them to a larger tank and add another 4 to form a shoal?
If you move the angels to a bigger tank, you would then move the cardinals to the 10 gallon and add 4 more cardinals to get a group. If you added the shrimp to that tank, then the 5 gallon you could use for a betta maybe?
 
first the Frogs. They were probably advertised in the store as African Dwarfs 2 of the frogs, but they are not. I want to another store(7 in my area) and saw real dwarf Frogs. The other 2 frogs are White. All 4 Frogs are about the same size. They have been in the same tank for around 3 months and nothing has happened.

Angel Fish. They have been in the 10 gallon for 2 months nothing has happened to they.
 
i dont know much about the frogs but i know that the angel definitaly need a bigger tank. though u say that nothing has happened in two months with ur angelfish, i am sure that u will stunt their growth because angelfish grow to about 6" and need tall tanks that are at least 30 gallons.
