	Bettas and African Dwarf Frogs?
Betta_Fantasy Hobbyist Posts: 94 Kudos: 44 Votes: 0 Registered: 30-Dec-2005	I have 4 khuli loaches, and a betta in a ten gallon, and I was wondering if I could add an African Dwarf Frog in there safely? Would there be any compatibility issues I should be aware of? And would it be able to live in the tank for the length of it's life? Or would I have to upgrade to a larger tank down the road? Otherwise I might just add two cherry barbs, or leave the tank as is if you guys think the tank is fully stocked as it is.

Does this help at all. You could find the Cherry Barb will nip the Betta I had one in my Betta tank for a short time and was often seen chasing the M Betta. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

The tank has: 4 khuli loaches 1 betta 3 fake plants 3 caves

If you like the khulis, I would try going with only 2 so you don't over crowd the bottom. Cardinals may be a great idea, but as I stated in your other posts, I try to keep bettas solitary, but thats just me. Inky

Keep an eye out for any White spot and treat as soon as you see the first outbreak. Cardinals are certainly hardier that the common Neon *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

(Which I have had only bad experiences with) so I went with a pair of cherry barbs. If the khuli loaches are slow growers, they should be fine in the ten gallon for a while until I can upgrade to a bigger tank (or move two into another ten gallon or something)

That way the male doesn't stress the one female out by chasing her all the time. I think you are stocked now...so I wouldn't add anything else (other than the 3rd cherry). *Kristin*
