Betta with ADF?

[fishwatcher]

I have an ADF that I was thinking of putting in with my male betta... do you think this is a good idea?

 

[OohFeeshy]

how long has the betta been alone? Bettas can get pretty narky to anything else in their space if they've been alone for a long time.

loadsa people keep bettas with ADFs it should be fine altohugh a betta could nip at the ADF but most times its fine.What size tank?

 

[fishwatcher]

Let's see... I've had him about 3-4 weeks.
I just found out that I need atleast 1 more cory cat (I only have 2), but I'm stretched on room. I figure if I can move the ADF's, then I can have room for the other cory I need to get. In my signature, is there anything you think I can/should move to get that extra space to make everyone happy?

 

[Saucy]

NO! I'm a frog owner. Let me tell you, it's going to stress out both of them being put together. And ADFs create a LOT of poop, which is not going to make the betta happy. I'd just suggest leaving them apart. There's also a lot of controversy about mixing frogs with any other species. All in all, I just don't suggest.

African Dwarf Frog... those cute little frogs that live in the water. I love mine, I just need to make room.
So it's a no-go with the betta. Thanks for the help!!

My frogs have been kept with Bettas for almost all of the several months they've lived with me. There are some Bettas that will nip at them, and there are some that won't. If you regularly clean up waste from the tank, then the mess never becomes an issue. Both of my frogs are currently living with a Super Delta male Betta, and they eat well and very peacefully coexist with him.

Do they jump out of the bowls? I have one betta in a 1 gal, 1 in a 1 1/2 gal; no top on either one.

Unless you plan to get a MUCH larger tank, I wouldn't suggest putting the frog in with your betta (if you really want to). You'd have to change the water every day! Hah. Messy little fellows... and all the poop will make your betta sick in that small bowl.

Not to mention those frogs grow to be quite large ^^^ hers were humongous.

No, ADFs are very small. Usually a body length of a little more than an inch, not including legs at all. It is the African CLAWED Frogs (ACFs) that get massive.
