You don't need to keep ten and they can eat frozen foods. There is actually some debate about whether they need brackish water to be healthy or can do well in either; switching from brackish to freshwater induces spawning in BB gobies, so people can assume that they spend most of their life...

I'm helping with my pics.

7... looks heroic.

Absolutely beautiful... makes me remember the horrible OS office tank in a place where my Mother used to work. Proof that aquariums make ANY place look better.

How new is the tank? a Diatom spike is normal in a newly established glass tank due to all the silicates in the water. Green Spot is pretty normal and not a bad sign, they grow in conditions favored by aquatic plants. Just scrape it off with an algae scraping implement. If you want Biological...

Also, they can;lt hurt things larger than zooplankton.

I was perusing my field guide to east/central NA herps and I found that the Boreal Chorus frog lives in your area. It stays small (about 1 1/2"), and would be easy to care for.

Good luck, they're fun and easy little toads. Great starter herps.

1. Any small cichlid you want. Kribs, Keyholes, and Apistos of all kinds would do well in there. 2. Sure, but I wouldn't do more than 2 species. 3.Depends. Tank-raised specimens might, but wild-caught would probably need soft water,. as most dwarf cichlids hail from soft water environments...

Beautiful little fella. I want a pond someday...

There is more than just a Betta you could put in a 5 hex- Dwarf Gouramis being one of the more common options. rarer options include a single dwarf puffer or a pair of darios, sparkling gouramis, bumblebee gobies (do best in brackish, though), or clown killifish. You could also do a single...

I know there are more than just wood frogs where you live, but that's the only frog I know of that lives there that could fit in a 5g aquarium. You should check which kind of treefrogs he sells; I wouldn't try fitting any treefrog that gets over 3" in there.

How many mollies? if you've got more than 1, you're fully stocked... if you only have 1, you might have room for bumblebee gobies.

Native: a single Wood Frog would do okay if you could catch one, as they stay fairly small as adults. They should have a 50/50 land-water ratio, as they are more terrestrial than other Rana. Spring peepers could live in there, but I don't know if you have them that far west (I know they're found...

I agree, I think your stocking is good as it is. You might be better off borrowing a pufferfish, or something, and keeping him in there until it eats all the snails. You could move your fish to another tank while he "works"

Not really, but it helps, because an excess of wastes can harm them, or make ideal conditions for diseases to develop. I recommend doing research on their wild habitats, and designing the water/land ratio accordingly; asking the breeder how he keeps his would also be a good idea.

I'd say 5-6 would do fine, but I'm not very experienced with herps from outside the US, and I'm mostly going on max adult size and how big a tank I would attempt one in (10g). My guessing is they're locally common and probably not commonly kept internationally.

I believe what you have there is the closely related Green and Gold bell frog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_and_Golden_Bell_Frog, which is not endangered and is in fact an introduced species in NZ, which would explain it's common-ness.
