Is a 10 gallon big enough for two neon tetras, two guppies, and two African dwarf frogs? I have another ten gallon with one goldfish in it but I don't think any of them would be comfy with him..or he with them.

to keep the guppies from over populating the tank you might decide to get both males or both females...just a thought.
Be careful if you get both females. I believe that female guppies can have six or more broods even after the male was removed. :cool:

I'm glad my wife isn't a guppy *SUPERSMIL

lol.

yeah there is always a chance that the females will already be pregnant when you get them if they're in a tank mixed with males. but most lfs's keep them seperate.

I don't see how 2 guppies, 2 neons, and 2 dwarf frogs is even close to the "limit" on a 10g... those are all small fish with minimum bioload. Even with 5 neons that tank would be slightly understocked.
