just starting out, got a question

[mrhappy_708]

Right now i have 3 neon tetras, 2 golden mystery snails, 2 ghost shrimp, and a african dwarf frog in a 10 gallon TopFin aquarium from petsmart. The tank has filtration and a pretty good sized live plant. Is this tank full or can more neon tetras be added to it?

i would say up to 5 more neons would work because neons are small fish and have a low bioload and everything else you have has a low bioload too

thanks for the tip balloon fish, my other question is how active are african dwarf frogs, i hear some peoples swim around and are sociable, but might hides under a little thing of decor, is it normally that i see more action out of the snails then the frog?

To be honest with you i found my mystery snail is more interesting then my ADFs cause the mystery snail is always on the move. But the only difference is its a new addition (about a month old) compared to my ADFs which i've had since a year ago so i guess its just cause mystery snails are something new to me. But they aren't really a bad thing to have in your tank and i found its always interesting to watch them still so go for it

i have the same tank as you. 5 neons would be better since they like schooling

my frog is so much more active than my snails, he swims everywhere!!! he's just a nonstop party frog! i'm thinking of getting him a friend!
