I have a new 10 gallon set up. I have 1 male betta, 1 dragon fish (violet golby or dragon eel). 2 blue gaurami, and a afrcan frog. Are they ok together they seem to be doing great. I put a little tank salt in there for the dragon. Are the other fish ok with a lil salt? Please help Im new to this but I am really excited and love my fish.

Are my new fish ok together in a 10 gallon tank?
Woah no way!! the violet goby get 15 inches long the gouramis will get 4inches long right there you are already way over crowded. Those fish will not be able to live out their full life span in a 10 gallon tank. Besides that a brand new tank that hasnt even gone through the nitrogen cycle ill take a safe bet and wont think they will live very long. To add to it the violet goby is a brackish water fish , where the other fish are not. The violet alone needs at least a 55 gallon tank. Those fish are not compatible especially not in a new tank and not in the size tank you have.

Its not just the betta that cant live in chlorinated water....its all fish!! You have fish that get way to large and have different specific needs as far as salinity and compaibility. Sorry to say but either those fish need to brought back or you have a few new tanks that need to be setup. if you even want a slight chance of all of their survival.
Reply:zack, you are totally right about the frogs, I just found out about the diffrence between dwarf and clawed and now, knowing this, I won't get one. Report It
Reply:The eel and frog will beat up on the Beta. For a ten gallon tank I'd recommend a few assorted gouramis, some neons or other tetras, a couple of catfish, a couple of algae eaters.



I am a big fan of live plants, too.
Reply:i think it's too crowded, especially if they're diff kinds of fish
Reply:did you do your research before setting up your tank? you have a small tank so taking care of it won't be a big problem. you should keep fresh water fish with fresh water fish and salt water fish with salt water fish, so on. did you set the tank up and let it run at least 24hrs before adding fish? there are a lot of things you need to do before dumping fish into a tank of water. try the links, they might be helpful to you, they were to me.
Reply:It's very, very wrong, sorry to be sorta blunt. First of all, betas, even though pet store employees might tell you their only aggressive to other male betas, are healthiest when they live in their own smaller tank, alone, even if they are not aggressive to the fish they're living with.



Also, you first have to do a process called acclimation. This is where you put the fish tank you bought out for about three days. Then you take the water to a local pet store (Petco, for example) and ask them to test your water. If they tell you your fish will be healthy in it, you take about 2-3 fish ONLY and put them, still in their ORIGINAL bags, in the water. You allow them to sit there for about 12 hours (this time depends on the type of fish). After that step, you can slowly and EVENTUALLY begin putting more fish, little at a time, not all at once!



Finally, the worst part, the salt. You can't choose to put salt in a tank for one kind of fish. Logically, that doesn't work. The salt isn't going to follow the fish that likes it most, and stay clear of the ones that are freshwater. Beta, for one live in regular, purified water, such as tap water. Also, one point I forgot to mention is that Beta require water that is treated with a chemical that kills chlorine. It's a simple water conditioner that you can buy from anywhere. Betas are not supposed to live in salt water!



I really hope you didn't just open a pack of salt you bought from the market and put it in there. If you did, I pray for your fish, and you.
Reply:I hope so....
Reply:The male Beta should be seperated if the other fish are aggressive. If they aren't they are not seen as an immediate threat. You can get a cage to put in the tank so you can still have it in there and enjoy your 10 gallons lol. The salt should be fine don't overdo it and if you notice anything strange put the dragon fish in another bowl with the salt.
Reply:if its an african clawed frog take it out immediatly they will eat anything and everything in your tank, even if it will not fit in its mouth they use they're claws to force it in
Reply:Every inch of a fish is for every gallon, I would say no more than 3 big fish. 20 Gallon fish tanks are much cooler, than get those plucko's that help clean your tank.
Reply:they're b fine...i have like 30 fish in my 50 gallon tank
