ok to start off i have a 5 gallon planted tank and was considering the different ways i could go... and i started reading a "little" on Killi because i came across articales that say you can keep them in such a small tank... so my question: is a 5 gallon tank really suitable for them? and if so...

Thank you both Me499 and frankie21, i do have a planted tank... well half planted... 4 live plants plus some java moss and then 4 fake plants...and then caves and hidey spots which i move when vacuming so no chance of missing anything... did a 10% water change this morning and my ammonia levels...

i do use a dechlorinizer.... i use Tap water conditioner by API the makers of some of the best test kits around me... well i got home from work and the ammonia level held at 0.5ppm so ill wait till tomorrow to do another partial water change....and so far my frog and fish still look ok... i...

thanks all! i have been trying to decide on what kind of substrate i want to use....

so just like the topic, i was wondering what types of sand you all use for your dwarf puffer tanks?

ok well to start i had a 5 gallon tank set up for over 3 years no major changes (3 white clouds, 2 rosbara, 3 neons and 3 dwarf clawed frogs) yes i know a little over populated but i am very good with water changes and all have been healthy for 3 years... but 3 days ago my filter died... went to...

i have used plastic lids which i cut to there is just enough room for the cord and thats it... and then taped them to the top of the tank.... but i have never had an issue with mine before then... I have alwasy been told if the water conditions are good and the frogs are happy they will stay in...

When Phent is full grown his shell will be dinner plate size and his neck will be a good foot and a half long when stretched out. He will also loss his beautiful markings! Well there's a slight change he may kEep about 5 percent of them!

Lmao alright I was going to say.... I know that there are no albino dwarfs (well there could be because you can always get mutations in a species) but these little guys I have never heard of an albino at all. So if ya have an "albino dwarf" you may want to find him a new home away from all...
