I need good ideas on what some nice looking top dwelling fish are. I just finished cycling a 55 gallon tank and it has three Bala Sharks and and big african dwarf frog. So any suggestions are helpful. Thanks
Thanks for the help. Are you sure about the bala sharks? I was told that they'd grow no more than 10". I'm not sure about the frog I got it from a neighbor who couldnt take care of it.
Yupp. While I was checking my facts for you I came across a story of someone who was looking for a 200g because her balas (who get very skittish in groups of 3 or less) would literally bolt and smack into the walls of the tank or even jump up and hit the lid when she approached the tank!
if u are to get a bigger tank u could get some needle fish. im not really sure about them or really anything but they are skinny and cool and live most their lives on the surface
The easiest way to tell if your frog is an African Dwarf Frog or an African Clawed Frog is to look at their fore feet (hands). The ADF has webbed fore feet and the ACF does not. If you find that you have an ACF be prepared as it can get quite big, possibly big enough to actually eat some of your fish.
I have read repeatedly that people who have housed this fish giving them nothing but raves. I considered getting one myself when I first set up my tank but I couldn't find any in my area.
Found a tank at my lfs, a 55-60 gallon seamless with a bioball filtration system and some 100+ dollar light for around 350, that I want to get and if I do, Im going to do a community tank and get one again.
as the others have aid the ACF can get rather large and can be aggressive!!
