I have a 5 gallon tank which currently has 2 african dwarf frogs, 3 cardinal tetras and 1 dwarf platy. I have had several other dwarf platys, but they all seem to die within a month. My water parameters, nitrates, ammonia, etc. have all tested fine. I've given up on platys. The one that is left seems a little lonely, but I got it and another to cheer up the one that was left from the batch before and they've died. The last batch came in and showed up with ick. That was successfully treated and none of my other fish became infected.
The african dwarf frogs will be moving back to my 30 gallon aquarium that I keep in my classroom at school and I am looking for something else to put in the tank.
I have several live plants in there, which appear to be doing just fine. I added live plants after deciding that maybe I was lacking in oxygen for my fish. That didn't help, but I do like the appearance.
The tank is in my daughter's room and I am looking for something with a little personality for her that will be a good fit for a small tank. The tetras are doing terrific so I've decided that dwarf platys must not be a very hardy fish. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I stock my tank at school with larger tetras but I'm just not sure what would do well in the small one. I do a 25 percent water change weekly. *twirlysmi
