Stocking Question

[tom_middleton]

I have a planted 20 gal tank with 2 mollies and 2 male guppies.

I would like to end up with these tank mates and an african dwarf frog, an angelfish (or 2) and a dwarf gourami (or 2) and maybe a couple more guppies.

What are your ideas on this? I was thinking the only set back would be between angels and gouramis.

It would be tight to squeeze 2 angels into a 20gal with other fish. How tall is the tank, as 18" is a minimum for angelfish. How about dwarf cichlids?

You will find that the fish will eat all the frog's food and keeping them in a community tank can be hard work as you end up having to hand feed them. I inherited one and after a while of trying to keep him well fed with my community I have now got him his own tank. Just food for thought...

It is a 18inch tall tank. I suppose its either tall enough for angelfish or short enough for frogs, not both.

 

[myrtle]

A bit tall for the frogs, I think 12-14 inches is the max so they don't get exhausted going to the top for air.

1 angelfish and 1 dwarf gourami no frog?
