So far all the reading around I've done has only served to confuse me more!
I have a tank 24"x12"x12" with currently 2 lionhead gold fish in it. One fish is moving out into another tank as he is a bully, plus my flatmate chose him so I said he can go live in her room and she's bought a tank for him to go and bully himself in!
The fish that is left, Squishy, is very mild mannored (if a fish can be so!) and wouldn't cause any newcomers any problems I dont think. The reason why i bought the tank was because I wanted some African dwarf frogs, but I fell in love with squishy when I went in for plants and had to take him home!!
So what I want to know is, would some ADF's be ok with my lionhead? I know lion heads are concidered cold water fish, but all the fancy goldfish sites I've read suggested temps of 22-24 c, which is what they're at and seem quite happy. As I understand frogs require the same temp and desire the same pH conditions (7.5). So, environments matching would they be ok together? I understand stocking levels need thinking about so is my tank large enough to support my lionhead and perhaps 2-3 frogs? I'm totally new at this so excuse my ignorance! I'm doing all my checking now so as not to prematurely end any froggie lives. If my tank is not suitable I shall either buy another one or leave it and have squishy on his own
Cheers
