stocking for a 7.5 gallon planted tank

[ember04]

Hi all

I have just finished setting up my 7.5 gallons or 28 liter nano planted tank. As you can see by previous treads I have posted I was thinking of stocking this tank with 3-4 African dwarf frogs, but after going to my LFS yesterday as seeing there beautiful bettas I realised again why I fell in love with these fish.

I still want African dwarf frogs as I currently have one (I know they need to be in groups, she was in a group but one passed away from old age sadly and due to the pandemic LFS in my area could not get them in) this is going to be a bit of an upgrade for my frogs.

My question is could I get a betta (I will probably get a plaket as they can swim more easily) and 3 African dwarf frogs in this tank, I will choose a calm betta and the tank has many hiding places for the frogs. The tank also has a large canister filter so filtration is not a problem. I have seen this done on youtube in smaller tanks but I would appreciate people honest opinion.

thanks. ember04

Hi Ember, welcome
Plakats are lovely but Betta are best kept alone as they can be aggressive. Other animals in their territory could cause stress which leads to illnesses.
ADF s should not be kept with fish as they have poor sight and take a long time to find the food. If the fish eat the food first then frogs can starve.
I recommend getting another tank.

Ok, thanks for your honesty I will stick to my original plan of an African dwarf frog species tank with 3-4 frogs and maybe a snail but that's it.

thanks so much
