from what i understand on these fish, they can get up about 8", so for now ie should be fine.

All are.

Expect 6"-8", and it has a ravenous appetite along with a biggish mouth...expect your small fish (ottos, neon, ghost shrimp, molly and guppy fry, ADF, and eventually the serpaes) to begin disappearing.

If ya ever wanna get more african dwarf frogs for ur tank don't they are really cool i know but if ya want more they should be in their own tank with their own kind it is better for them they will be happier and live longer, it would be cheaper to start a dwarf frog tank(i am goin to start one in the near future) because u do not have to add things to the tank like filters and the tank does not have to be very big.

HAVE FUN WIT UR TANK
