Hi,

I have a 10 gallon aquarium with already 3 cories in it. I might add an african dwarf frog into this establishement, but I fear that the corries and adf will not be compatable. I know both species are quite peaceful, but both of the species are bottom-dwellers, and since it is only a small 10 gallon aquarium, 4 inhabitants of the same area of the tank will become troublesome or at least stressful for the fish and frog. Are 3 corries and an adf too much for my 10 gallon, since all of them dominate the bottom of the tank? Are my fears unfounded, or would you dissuade from adding an ADF to my already 3 corries?

BTW, would adfs have to be kept in groups or at least pairs, or can they do just OK solitarily?

Thanks.
 
Corys and ADFs will be fine together. THe only issue I have is that sometimes, when feeding, when the ADFs lash out at anything since they can't see for ****, that they nip at the Corys. Other than that, they get together just fine. My 2 ADFs don't hang out together all that much, but one of them seems to be in love with one of my Golden Apple Snails.
 
The only problem I can see is making sure everyone gets enough to eat. The corys are pretty quick feeders and those frogs...like Patrick said...can't see past thier own eyeballs, and it takes them about 20 swipes before they actually find what they know is right in front of them...lol...cute little buggers...
 
eh, I was also worried about feeding them! They never seem to get to the brine shrimp I put in before the other fishes get to them.
