Question
Hi there.
I've had a 60l bio-orb tank for quite a while now and so far have 1 red tail shark,2 angel fish and 2 neon tetras.
I would love an amphibian,and have seen turtles and frogs
In the tanks at the pet store.
Would I be able to have either,or will this upset the fish or the amphibian.
Thank you

Answer
Sophie,

    Turtles eat fish so if you put one in the fish will disappear. The only frog I would maybe put in that tank is an African Dwarf Frog. But, if you do that then you will have to drop the water level because the frog has to come to the top for air. They can also clamp on a fish as it is swimming by and not let go. It is a trial and error on the adding the frog. For some people it works for others it don't. My personnel opinion is no on both. If you add them, they can stress out your fish and we don't want that to happen.
