Hi there, I keep these with guppies and dwarf shrimp. I have never kept them with frogs, but they get along great with the guppies and dwarf shrimp.- InvertObsession

I have a betta, two ADFs and just added this little guy. I was a little worried about the frogs getting snapped at so I monitored closely. At first, one of the frogs was actually "nipping" the crayfish. I don't know if this was territorial or if the crayfish smells like dinner. Crayfish was initially a little defensive but hasn't done any actual harm, and the frogs tend to dart away if they run into each other. After a couple days everything seems peaceful, I think they just needed a few days to get used to one another. I do recommend plenty of hiding places at various heights to expand the amount of available "territory". I have a betta, two ADFs and just added this little guy.

I bought one of these from InvertObsession. This little guy is really cool looking. I also have a Betta and Dwarf African Frog. They are all in a 5 gallon aquarium. I have never seen this Orange CPO mess with my frog... they sometimes sit side by side at the bottom of the tank. After two months, I looked over and found my Betta swimming around madly in the tank and this guy was taking a ride on one of my Bettas fins! His little claw was clamped on. It was kind of funny looking. Obviously my Betta did not like it. It only happened once and has not been a problem since then. I think this crayfish is fine with my Betta since the Orange CPO Dwarf Mexican Crayfish and frog hang out mostly at the bottom of my tank and the Betta hangs out mostly near the middle/top. I would NOT try this in any smaller aquarium or bowl though. I think they get along well enough to leave them together (for me). My Betta has never gone after the crayfish. Hope this helps.

small goldfish, zebras, a few other tetras do ok without a bubbler. 1-2 is all you should probably try (rule is 1" of fish for every gallon of water). We've even had a small water frog in ours and he did pretty well.

I have three african dwarf frogs and a couple of amano shrimp and they all seem quite happy. I did have to get a heater though, since this does not come with one.

We purchased this tank for our daughter for Christmas and then got her a beta which she has named sapphire. Sapphire seems very happy and to have plenty of room. My husband would like to get her a snail also and he has previous experience with fish (I have none) so I would imagine there is room for both. I am unsure about the dwarf frog although could ask my husband what he thinks. I hope this was helpful and that you have good luck with whatever you decide to do.

yes they all are I only use two to divide the tank into 3 sections 2 Betta's and a Dwarf Frog. My Tank arrived in good condition no issues.

Yes, it would work fine with a single betta. I like the fact that they are adjustable, look good, and do the job. I have had a pair of them running on a 3 way divided 10g tank flawlessly for a year now. You can even add more media if you like. I fitted a bit of sponge to the intake.

Yes, I have a Bugaboo Frog, the first generation Bugaboo and it works great!

At the same time? Probably not. My Congo African Grey fits well enough for travel and short periods of time but he can pretty much just turn around and the perch isn't very big so you'd have to add one.

If he is larger like 1 inch+ diameter then I would say no. They didn't mess with my nerites over the three months I had them in the tank. If smaller then it would be at your own risk.

I do not know as we do not own a turtle.. but our crayfish gets along well with our snails

2, which is two too many for this size container. Consider visiting a reputable aquarium store for a proper set up for African dwarf frogs. It's not much more expensive and ultimately is easier to maintain, not to mention better for the animals.

I can't see why not, as long as you use the heater. I have two AD frogs in another tank under similar conditions as my Hagen Marina.

I would say these fish would be great tank mates. As long as they are not aggressive or bottom dwellers. The Shrimp like to hang out on the bottom. I would suggest if you don't have many plants that you also purchase some of the java moss for them to hide in and play between. We love trying to find them in our tank as they hide underneath the moss.

I haven't tried the shrimp with them yet but from what I have read they should be ok. I tried guppies and it didn't work. The guppies died but I don't honestly know if it was the crayfish. Guppies do spend time at the bottom of the tank which is where the crayfish are. I am going to try tetras which seem to be the fish most people recommend with the dwarf crayfish.

Yes, but monitor the temperature very closely, I'm guessing your getting a Betta. If so the temperature should be around 80 degrees. I've been a fish keeper for years and my opinion would be get atleast a gallon tank. Half gallon is a bit too small for anything. My philosophy on fish tanks is get the biggest tank within your budget and space and save later before you realize you got too small of a tank for what you want.

That's unfortunate. I have two platys and they approached the cf when I first put them in, but the cf turned around, put up their pincers like boxers ready for a fight and the fish thought better of it. They haven't approached the cf since.
