Adf + Baby Platys

[xhan]

A friend of mine recently gave me some of her baby platys, I'm hoping to get an african dwarf frog in a few weeks, but I'm concerned the frog may eat them! It could just be me being silly but I wonder if they're too small. They're a few months old.

Some pictures for an idea of size.

I'm also wondering if I should get two african frogs? But I'm not sure if my tank is big enough to keep them comfortable - a post I read on this forum said that they were social and recommended no more than 3 in a frog only 5gallon tank. My tank is 4 gallons with 3 neon tetras, 3 platys and possibly a siamese fighting fish

ADFs are pretty slow on the draw, so you won't ave any problems.

With the live plants, your bioload will be fine. Espescially if you plant it some more.

I wouldn't add the betta unless you are taking fish out of the tank first.
a) The tetras are prone to harassing bettas, espescially when they are not kept in a proper school (Group of 6 or more)
b) The platys resemble a betta too much. The betta will fight them.
c) The betta will tip your bioload over.

However, if you decide to move the platies and neons out to, say, a bigger tank, I hear bettas get along famously with ADFs

Thank you kelly - that was really helpful!

Do you think it would be better/is there even room for two ADF? I only ask because I don't want one to be lonely!
