I have not had much luck with neons lately. I have a 55g aqaurium and purchased 30 neons 3 months ago and I am down to 2. My local fish store said it is hard to get good quality neons right now. I have had a ton of good luck with black neons though.
I was reading not to bother with fish in frog tanks since fish have quite a few diseases that can hurt a delicate frog if they go swimming together, especially fish from your local pet store. Fish can carry tuberculosis, which is sometimes communicable to humans and definitely to your more expensive (and precious :wink: ) frogs. Also, there are a myriad of other nasty fish diseases from lice to bacteria, viruses, etc. It's just a risk you take if you introduce fish since they have sooo many diseases out there.
I have been thinking of doing the same thing. Fish just seem to add another level of life to the viv. I am glad to see that I am not the only one considering this.

How about a betta? They don't need as much water as most other fish because of their labyrinth organ although I wouldn't recommend keeping them in those little bowls they have in the pet shops. If you do get tadpoles however, I think the betta will try to eat them.

i agree with susan. I dont think it is worth the risk. personally, i wouldn't consider it. Then again, i have never lost a dart frog, knock on wood, but i can't even keep a goldfish alive lol. They do bring in diseases and I wouldn't feel comfortable putting in fish to my viv or any other animal except dart frogs. kristy

I would avoid using fish in an enclosure with frogs.
