I am going to start a sorority tank today or tomorrow and was wondering if you can keep african dwarf frogs with female bettas. Will the bettas show aggression towards the frogs? Please let me know what other type of small animal I can keep with the bettas,but NO snails, I once got a snail accidentally on a plant and there were soon hundreds of snails in the tank.
Also, do African dwarf frogs need to be in groups?
Yes, but you really need to do the research about African Dwarf Frogs. Some websites say not to, others say its fine. The frogs DO NOT eat fish flakes. Frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp should be good for them. You need to get them the right diet and you have to hand feed them every day. You have to put the food right in front of the frog so the betta’s don’t get it. Put a couple of plants in so it’s easier for the frog to reach the top to breath. A frogs skin can be delicate, so you have to make sure you’ve already cycled the tank and all the different levels in your Water are fine. Oh, and, an important one, they should have at least five gallons, then, sinse it will be with betta fish, 5 gallons for each betta. I would look into getting two ADF’s if I were you, so the frog isn’t lonely. Good Luck.!
they should be fine,female bettas are not very aggressive fish like their male counterparts are.

female bettas are usually docile by nature and should be fine with frogs. just be sure not to over stock your tank.
if you don’t already have your tank cycled you should do that 1st before adding any fish.

it depends if there is room. These tiny aquatic frogs are considered one of the best candidates for a betta’s tank mate. The share the same preference for stagnant, warm, soft water, and are not as likely as other fish to attract a betta’s aggression. They also contribute minimally to the bio-load, a plus for those with 2.5g tanks. However, it is essential to keep water conditions pristine, as they are very prone to bacterial infections with even moderate declines in water quality. What’s more, as with invertebrates, African Dwarf Frogs have no tolerance for copper. Finally, be sure your ADF is getting sufficient nutrition; because both bettas and ADFs are carnivores, they will be at odds with each other for food competition. It may be wise to feed the betta or frog in another container, as food competition can illicit aggressive behavior.
