fish

What are some good fish that do not create alot of waste in the water. I have 2 wtf in plaudarium and have not added anything to water besides log and plants which are doing good, water is about 6 inches deep which is the whole bottom of tank, land is built on top of water, used spray foam to do so and land stops in middle leaving about six inches of open water, this is where log sits and plants in gravel. Not sure if i want fish, do to the fact that frogs love to lay in the water fall and fish waste would become a problem making the water dirty. There is a pump for waterfall and a seperate filter. Maybe a salamander or some aquatic newt. Any ideas

How about shrimp? They'll also help tackle a few types of algae that can show up if conditions are less than optimal.

Of course, you'll probably want to be doing regular water changes no matter what you end up stocking it with. Also, if your plants are well established they'll help to take up some of the waste in the water.

How often do u think i should do water change, thinking like once a week, take out 50 percent, not sure how much water there is, i would say 5 gallons maybe 8. Definitely not 10.

That's about what I do with mine, when I remember to actually do it. I've got about the same volume of water, as well.

small fish, lazy fish (like a betta), shrimp, snails, thai micro crabs... no catfish whatsoever... they're waste machines.

at least weekly water changes would be best.
