Corys Or Frogs

[Covert]

hi, i have a decision to make. i have a 50 liter tank and i decided that i will be adding either 4 corys or 2 african dwarf frogs. things i need to consider are how the frogs will be fed while i am on holiday/away, and whether corys would be better because they clean the tank bottom. the tank currently contains 5 guppies.

what do you think i should get?

thanks

I vote for cories. But that's coming from a very non-froggy person.

Cories are a lot easier to feed though since they just search around the substrate. ADF sometimes needs "targetted" feeding.

Is there a reason why you can't have both?

Hi Covert

I think 4 or 5 corys would be an excellent addition to your guppy tank.

If you would like to keep ADFs too, a pair of them will live very happily in just a one or two gallon tank or bowl that will fit just about anywhere, as long as it's covered. They are jumpers and if you add them to your aquarium, be certain to block any spaces that are big enough for them to get through.
