I have a 5 gallon filter with African Dwarf frogs and a betta fish. Is this filter appropriate?

I do not have any frogs but I do have a Betta in a 5 gallon tank and it works just fine! You can adjust the flow of the water which makes it nice for Bettas :)

I don't know about it dimensionally but this is really made for a 10-20 gallon tank. The force of the water flow might be too great for a tank that small. You need to buy a filter sized for your tank and I've never looked for a 5 gallon filter before. I just googled it and got some results but I don't want to suggest something I haven't tried.

I used this Finnex for a 20 gallon freshwater fish tank. It was fine at first, but mine did not last very long though. There are Tetra filters at places like Walmart, too, that may be a better choice.

I also have a RES. It doesn't bother him at all--though he is full grown. No idea how big yours is. You do have to take it apart and clean it more often than you would for a regular fish tank with a RES though. But that's going to be true of any filter.

I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank. It's a square, 7.5 " tank and the depth is a little under 7". The filter fits it perfectly. The filter that came with it was too small to be useful. This gets good flow and it is a cartridge filter system so they replace easily. I've had 2 of the tetra glo fish and a cory cat for about a year now. They do fine in the tank, I have a small plant in front of it to diffuse the intake some and the fish have been fine. In your question you asked about the half moon. That one I would not recommend due to the shape and space, but a square tank with the filter in either back corner should be fine. I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank.

I have this in a 5 gal and it has worked wonderfully for my Betta. I added a good filter and cycled it first. Curious as to what you would put in a 1 gal, the smaller the tank the harder it it to maintain and it requires almost daily water changes when this small

Hi, yes I have it in a ten gallon tank for my fire bellied toads. It works great. I get the bio bag filters for it as they are cheaper than the tetra ones.

Full grown guppies should be ok. My Betta actually likes to suck himself against the filter intake and chill there. He has been ok and hasn't been hurt by it. I don't think babie gupies would be ok though.

If you cut the vertical tubes, yes. If it's for turtles (or other amphibians) this is not the filter to use.

Basin holdsabout 5 gallons of water so small fish should be ok. You'll need filtration and a way to keep the fish from getting trapped by recirculation pump.

I think so, from what I've seen those frogs are very small - it's a very nice small aquarium but the filters will clog up with too much algal growth.

You can use anything with a filter for goldfish so it should be fine. Just change half the water about once every 2 weeks.

Absolutely. I have the 150 in a 10 gal freshwater planted aquarium. I also have 3 3gal tanks the the azoo 60 filters. The 3 gal tanks are divided with 2 bettas in each of them. What I like about them is they're adjustable flow. I use a little more than the lowest setting in the 3 gallons and I use about a medium setting for the 10 gal. Any other questions, let me know.

I wouldn't use it in such a small tank. I got this filter for my 5 gallon tank and it fits perfectly so a 1 gallon tank sounds like it would be too small. It is a nice filter though! :)

A betta by itself is fine in a 3-gallon. Maybe a snail would be alright, but definitely not the frog because it would produce too much waste for the small tank and the small filter. My tank is home to 1 betta and live plants. I also have a heater because bettas need 80 degrees F water, since they are tropical fish. My 1 betta is very active and always exploring and hiding in the plants. I would google "basic betta care" and "nitrogen cycle" and do a little reading before buying any animals. Remember fish are living beings and will depend on you for your care, so do your best to provide them a good home =)

I have one in my five gallon opposite the filter I would use two in a 15 or 20 gallon.

This is a component of the fluval canister filter. For a five gallon tank the canister filter would be too large for your filtering needs. Hope this helped!!
