Im planing on getting some Adf (African dwarf frogs)
and can put them in 2 tanks.
I have my 5 gallon with my betta in it.
Or i can put them in my 10 to 15 gallon that holds
1 female guppie and 4 babie guppies that are about 3 to 4 cm.
I am planing on getting 3 to 4 Adf's.
So what tank would be best to put them in?

Great question! I was wondering about frogs myself... wondering if I could put them in a 29 gallon with tetras, a betta and some other fish!

At first i have putted them in my betta tank for about 3 to 5 h
of a day....And decided they will be in a nice worm
hot tropical guppy tank so moved them in there.
My betta niped at them 2 to 3 times that's it .... he didn't really
minded them.

Through my own experience,I have found that my bettas can not handle more than 2 adf in their tank if it's only 5 gal. or less. All the action from the frogs just seem to make the bettas nervous. I usually keep a pair of adf's with my bettas. My frogs have only gotten "nippy" with fish in small fish tanks. They do not have real good vision,and all they see is betta tail movement,and they think it's food. It's not because they don't get along. I know that alot of people keep bettas without a heater,and that's fine-I prefer to keep them with one if I am able-My bettas just get way more active when in a heated tank,and they seem much happier. Keeping adf's in your guppy tank is fine.The frogs will love the warmth,and be happier for it,but like I said, they don't see well,and if you have tiny babies,well let's just say they could become dinner.(not on purpose though) Black Oranda,your 10-15 gal. guppy tank should be fine. There's enough room where everyone is not sitting in one area,so chances are your babies will be okay. I certainly am no expert,I can tell you that I've had these frogs in my tanks for the last 5 years or so,and I can tell you what I have experienced. Right now,I have 14 adf's ,and 1 baby african clawed frog by accident. Anyone knew to these frogs need to be clear on what kind you get. If you want the small up tp 1-1.5 inches,that's the dwarf.You'll know that they are dwarf's if you look at their front hands. Adf's have webbing between their fingers,clawed frogs do not.
