 | Betta tank |
Fishguy101  Hobbyist Posts: 105 Kudos: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Jun-2004   | Would a 5 gallon tank with a small filter and a heater work for a betta and possibly an african dwarf frog? |

A lot of people successfully keep a betta and ADF together. That's a nice sized tank for the two.

poisonwaffle  Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003 | the whisper mini filter would be fine in there. i have one in my 2.5g betta tank on it's 2nd lowest power setting and it doesn't bother the betta  |

| rubber_ducky_2904 Hobbyist Posts: 68 Kudos: 102 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Jun-2004  | Sounds like a great setup. The ADF and betta willl probably go well together. I agree with the whisper Filter idea. You're very lucky to be able to have an ADF........... I don't even know if they're available in Australia.........

| Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004 | ADFs and bettas are a common combination. I have one ADF and it's quite shy. Never bothers the other fish at all. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean |

| terranova Fish Master Posts: 1984 Kudos: 1889 Votes: 229 Registered: 09-Jul-2003 | I agree with ThisWayOut...I have whisper filter in a 2.5 gallon on the lowest setting possible and it keeps the tank crystal clear and doesnt disturb my betta. He can even make bubble nests, as he does so often. -Formerly known as the Ferretfish  |

| Fishguy101 Hobbyist Posts: 105 Kudos: 170 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Jun-2004 | As some of you already know I am going to get a 10 gallon tank for a betta and 2-3 adf's. I was looking at the whisper filters yesterday and I was wondering which would be better, An internal tank whisper filter or an external whisper filter? I would guess the one that would be best is the one with the least water current/movement. thanks |
