Does a 3 gallon tank with two dwarf frogs and a betta need a filter?

 

[Pure]

Yes, or 100% daily water changes.

 

[punkrockfish]

yes, you should get a filter, and a heater. and 100% water changes is just a bit extreme

 

[ninamarie]

what plants go in a betta tank?

 

[cybersymes]

i'm hoping to do something like this...
i was hoping for 50% water changes ...
every other day ...

Bettas don't eat plants, so anything you like that stays small or can be easily trimmed should work. And that can grow under your lighting.

Thanks! I've had frogs for about seven years now, and my last one died on new year's eve. I think a betta and two frogs would be a good mix.

A Whisper mini filter would work well. They are only about 8$ at Walmart.

As you know, make sure the cover is well sealed for the frogs

Yeah, go for the Whisper.

If not, do ten percent water changes daily, or slightly larger changes every other day. I do 20% water changes in my vases every other day.

Good low light plants are java fern, java moss, anubias, and elodea (anarcharis).

Silk plants or Plastic plants will work just fine. If you want to use live plants I would recommend Anubis Nana or Java Fern as these plants look great, grow slow, and work well under low light aquariums.

Your main focus will be making sure that your frogs get adequate ammount of food because they wont be chasing for food much like your betta. You dont need to do a 100% water change each day and in fact that would be a bad thing to do. I would say 30% every 4-5 days would be just fine just dont over feed and watch your levels.

Thanks for the article on the frogs! I love those guys! I went with the small whisper filter like suggested, and am starting the cycling now. Appreciate the advice!
