Hi Moe,
I've given my opinion on your profile, so I'm glad you found your way here. You'll get plenty more help here from other members.

Good luck.

Betta should be house alone with ottos or cories, or even a bristle nose pleco (if in a10g)

Alessa

In a 5 gallon you could only house one betta, there isnt room for a mollie (they grow big and need to live with more of their kind). OR one ADF.

Mollies Ideally should be housed with at least 4 other mollies, and their minimum tank requirement is 20 gallons.

Thanks! But i just got a baby dwarf guppy (soooo so so sooo small!!) and a kinda small one and a realy small adf but shes not active. Think shes ill or bored or sleepy? (no shes not dead!) But she moves and sits and has her head out of the water to breathe alot and shes kinda moves a little.not much just sits in a spot. Please help!

Alessa

there are no dwarf guppies.
guppies need to be at least in a group of three and need at least 10 gallons because they are active fish.

So, youre saying there is no mollie? you only have that one guppy?

fishlover27

i think its dwarf pad guppys idk ther a lonngggg name! yes i have one molly one dwarf frog two dwarf pad guppies or something and thats it

Its probably just a baby still.

Alessa

What I meant is that there isnt such species as dwarf guppies.

also one mollie, three guppies and one ADF is severely overstocking your tank. I wouldnt recommend anything less than 20 gallons for those fish.

angelfish220

I second that!

fishlover27

actully i have a small mollie a smallish guppy and a baby guppy and a frog but the baby might get eating or the frog is ill or is sad or is tired OR is sleeping or is bored idk! but i have two guppies,one mollie and ONE adf thanks all :-)

angelfish220

At least I would get a 10 gal for the livebearers, and then leave the frog in the 5

Alessa

yes, that would be another option!

Lucy

I replied in the other thread. Too many threads on the same subject confuse me.

Here's the other thread:

i got new fish!

fishlover27

well i think my frog is done. it was ill because the pet store. or it is sleep but people HELP ME MY BLACK MOLLIE IS PICKING ON THE BABY GUPPY AND THE SMALLISH ONE! what should i do!

Lucy

I asked these questions in your other thread.

It would be helpful if we knew what your water reading are. Do you have a test kit?

What temperature is the tank?

Are there decorations, plants, a little cave or something for everyone to hide in?

Ideally like was suggested above, you should get a 10g for the fish and leave the frog in the 5g.

Good luck.

my frog died the guy in the pet shop thought he was fine. But bloomer isn't moving and her leg is covered with something. Crying... But my other fish r okay and bloomer is still in there because my mom is at her work and I want to make sure she thinks its gone. I have a Q.... Do mollie have teeth? And if the mollie follows or chases a fish will the fish make it? Please help omg I just saw her! She's alive but her foot it hurt! Will she be okay? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is crying

Lucy

What's it's leg covered with? Is it possible she's molting? They shed their skin regularly.

Is there a reason you're not answering my questions?

We'd really like to help you.
