Betta Tank

[jkb1977]

I am getting a new tank soon and will be moving the residents from my existing tank out and a betta in. It's 48l (12 US gallons I believe) with natural plants. Wanted to also put in 6 white cloud minnows and an aquatic frog. Would this be too much? I would be happy to have one or the other if tank size is too small.

Sounds ok except the frog. I'm pretty sure all frogs, even African Dwarfs, end up eating small fish, and white clouds are small!

I concur..

Frogs eat fish, its the way of the world. So probably not a good idea to mix the two unless you have a realy big fish & a realy small frog.

I agree about the frog but the rule is an inch of fish per gallon

I think what I'm going to do is have a betta just by itself in a smaller tank (I think 48l is a bit too big for 1 fish). I've been doing my research and finding good tank mates in the size I have is prooving difficult.

do you have sand? if so, you could get some cories? just a suggestion

planning on changing to sand, as I'm getting a new bigger tank which will be sand. Would cories be ok?
