Who are suitable tankmates for my frog?
Tankmate decisions are determined by a number of factors. First, your tank size and whether or not you house your ADF in a filtered tank set up or are performing 100% water changes with a smaller unit will dictate what tankmates are suitable. The needs of the potential tankmates must be considered. Most tropical fish cannot handle 100% regular water changes and must be kept in larger filtered tanks. The general rule of thumb in aquariums is to have at least 1 gallon of water for each inch of slender, adult fish or frog. When measuring fish, do so from nose to base of tail with no fins or tails counted and with frogs, one measures from snout to vent, that is, from nose to butt, but don’t include the legs. Also, as ADFs need to surface for air regularly, it’s recommended that the height of the tank be no more than 18″, especially for young frogs. If your ADF can fit into the mouth of any tankmate, then this tankmate is not suitable… your ADF will become a tasty snack! The same holds true
