Frog...biowheels

no, dont worry about overoxygenation, as far as im aware, this can't happen, as oxygen and CO2 levels are independent. the biowheel will help with your bacterial colony too, and they are very beneficial

Hey there,

Is there a breed of frogs which are less agressive and stay small?

African Dwarf Frogs would probably fit that description. A 65gallon seems big for ADF's though and I'm not sure about compatibility with your current inhabitants. With that said I will pass the buck on to this great article.

ADF Article

You must have had an African Clawed Frog. They are often sold mislabeled as African Dwarf Frogs. Clawed frogs get HUGE and will eat everything in the tank. The Dwarf Frog gets to a couple inches, no bigger, and won't touch your other fish. They are almost completely blind so you have to make a point of feeding the worms to where they can smell them which may be the only problem with keeping them in a larger tank. I don't have any problems locating them in my 46G once they got adjusted to things and weren't hiding as much.

The fish in that tank are too aggressive to keep with ADFs. Also a 65g is too big for them unless you woulld be willing to spend a lot of time carefully feeding them. But, IMO, this is a moot point since they're not compatible.

You indeed did have a Clawed frog, not a Dwarf frog. They are two very different things. Clawed frogs must be kept in species only tanks (to be 100% safe) and get much bigger, much more aggressive.

Dwarf frogs are small, peaceful frogs that will be picked on by anything like tiger barbs, some plecos, larger gouramis, and could conceivably be eaten by a goldfish (which doesn't belong in a tropical tank anyway).

Please check out that article that Hike so kindly linked.

The biowheel is only an issue if you are injecting CO2 into the tank for the plants. If not, it doesn't matter.

Frog and biowheels

Is that kind of like the wheels that get put in hamster cages?????????????
