Regular Member Bubbles Posted September 3, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 3, 2005 So I was looking on this website: http://www.elmersaquarium.com/000tropfishcareguides.htm I wanted get information on tropical fish that are compatable with eachother because I am moving my goldfish from their 35 gallon to a much larger tank..I think its 80+ gallons. So I was wondering how many tropical fish I could fit into a 35 gallon. I was planning on buying some glass fish, mollies, neon tetras, guppies, and an apple snail. I was hopeing to get an african dwarf frog, but I'm not sure if they're compatable. I know everything I listed are compatable though. I was just wondering how many fish I could but in my tank. Thank you for any advise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member balashark Posted September 3, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted September 3, 2005 lucky goldfish general rule is 1" of tropical fish to 1-2 gal. with the fish you named, all do go well together and they stay pretty small, even as adults. with the glass fish, you'll want to get 2 or 3 at least, they do much better in groups. they can grow to 2". you might want to avoid painted glass fish; they're pretty, but it supports a barbaric practice. just remember not to add all 30 inches of fish at the same time oh yea, dwarf frogs are compatable w/ smaller and slower fish. the prefer slighly warmer water (mid 70s) and also do better in small groups. personally i never had much luck with them, but they are really neat to watch. general rule, 1 frog will take up 1-2 of your inches. i don't think snails factor into that equation though.

Yes, I know of the horrible practice of dying and injecting painted glass fish with colour. Luckily my lps carries natural glass fish.
