I leave the light on for 12 hrs. a day. I added a algae eater and a black molly last night and added the clear tabs. The algae eater is doing his job already. I'm going to change the tank size sooner because I added the extra fish. Right now I'm just going to leave the tank.

Gotta put in my 2 cents! LOL
Frogs are pretty messy critters, If you upgrade to a bigger tank this will help. It is a bacteria bloom you have going on and it will clear up in a day or 2 with a water change (small change) and an adjustment in your feeding. I highly recommend a canister filter. I bought a couple for my 90 gal when I had fish. ( I kept them for 7 years) I have been through almost everything with my tanks. (had 8 at one time) Do not use those Chemicals in your tanks! You don't need them, they are useless, if anything they will cause more fish loss. I only used the water conditioner in my tank at water changes and a little salt now and then, it went a long way. I used the Aqua clear filters (Best and cheapest to run I think if you can't afford a cannister) You never have to change the sponge and you can make a carbon filter out of bulk carbon and pantyhose when you need one. Canister filters are awesome I can't recommend them enough. They are low maintenance. I gave mine a light cleaning every few weeks and I only put Bio balls and floss(pillow stuffing) in the media baskets. If you go buy some polyester or cotton stuffing from any dept. store (pillow stuffing) and put it in your filter it will filter the Micro particles out of your water. It will be crystal clear in a day or 2. You are feeding too much at one time. Try feeding a small amount everyday. Your Frogs should be ravenous feeders. When they get big enough you should expect your other fish to go missing ![]() I Had a high mortality rate in my tanks until I stopped listening to stores. Once I started doing things my way (with the help of a breeder friend) I stopped loosing fish. I hope this helps you out some! Oh and they don't ever tell you this but once Mollies reach adulthood they live in Brackish water ![]() |
