I thought you said that Bloomer was dead in one of your posts above?
I do not usually say this.. I hope you do not take it the wrong way. But there are a lot of youngsters who have tanks and are mature enough to handle the responsibilities that come with it. And how they do that is they research.. and read links that are given them in order to know how to take care of fish and tanks. Keeping fish is not as easy as it seems, as you are finding out.
I am not the type to discourage fish keeping but it may be that you should wait awhile before you really get into fish keeping and do some reading and learn the important first steps before you go out and buy more fish. It may be the best thing for you and your fish.

If there's fake plants in your tank, they'll be able to get away from each other for tonight.
At this point they're probably stressed from the move. Please don't poke her.
Frog's don't move very much, when I first got mine, I thought he was dead every 1/2 hr.
Let them rest for tonight.
Tomorrow ask your mom if she'll take the frog or the other fish back to the store.
As you found out, they're not going to be able to live together in your tank.
I know you love them and it will be hard for you to do, but it will be the responsible thing for you to do.

I would seriously consider capekates advice, and please dont act like you are ignoring the posts it is very rude.

I just woke up and my frog is gone I think it moved two times the sat there. But it couldn't be my molly because they don't have teeth. But I think my mollies being nicer because she didn't nip or try to chase them! Even my baby guppie she didn't notice! I'm gonna keep watching them but there okay right now. Bye from moe

I'm really sorry to hear you lost your frog.

Part of fishkeeping is learning to research they types of aquatic creatures that you'd like and make sure you have the proper equipment and resources to best take care of them.

A lot of members have lost aqua pets due to lack of knowledge. The key is to learn from those mistakes and try not to repeat them.

Good luck.

Thank you. I did do SO much research before I got ANY of my aquatic animals. And the pet store guy was like "How much research did you do?!?" Because I was explaning to my mom why we could not get a type of fish! I was kinda talkative! Well it least my other fish are fine. God bless them! Ill talk to you later! bye

I dont want to sound rude, but if you had done your research, you would have known 5 gallons arent enough for any of the animals you have there, or would have know that having a test kit is vital, or that whenever adding so many creatures at once in such a small space will most definately throw you into a mini cycle, which is most likely what killed your frog, not the mollie. You would have also known that people at the stores want your money, and will probably tell you a whale will in a 5 gallon just to sell it to you.

I am really sorry, we really tried to help you, but you never answered our questions.

I tired but im not as old as everyone im younger but im not saying my age! Anyway i did answer some but hes gone and the first time i put him in he swam and swam and was having the time of his life! He was fine till morning! But i only have three fish in there and one is a baby (so small it took my 5 minutes to find him!) And the other is pretty tiny and the black molly is not BIG but is not SMALL about closer to small than big. And my tank is perfect right now you should see how fast my molly swims! She is soooooo happy (and hiper!) Well its okay how do i end this thread?
