Default dwarf african frog questions+other fish questions.?

1. How liable are daf, to get caught in a filter, cos my local pet store has some,and i have commonly seen the odd one caught by the leg(and sometimes the head) in the filtration system,now i have a powerfull filter,as i enjoy a clean tank, but should i lower its out put if its going to suck up these litle guys.

2.And would a small crab or lobster be peacefull with bottom dwelling and sleeping fish(the lobsters have a max size of 5" and the crabs 3-4") or would they nip them?

3.My male guppy is very bloated, what do i do?

4.should i keep a single angel fish or 2(i cant have 3+).

5.why do pepper corys wink?

With the African dwarf frogs. (ADF's) cut a peice of panty hose and use a rubber band to hold it on. What I have found to work better however, it cutting up a cheap fish net. The panty hose will get clogged up very fast.
A crab of lobster will try to eat you small frogs while they are trying to sleep. Not recommended.
Angel fish prefer a school of at least six and require 5-6 gallons a piece.
My albino cory's and my emerald cory's both blink.

1. If you're worried about the frogs getting sucked up, you can put some pantyhose over the fliter intake. This should prevent any mishaps.

2. Crabs and lobsters WILL nip at and potentially kill small bottom dwelling fish. Not a good idea.

3. Are his scales also sticking out? If so, it's dropsy, and there's little you can do. However, if they're not sticking out, he could just be constipated. Try not feeding him for a few days.

4. If your angelfish aren't a pair, they could be agressive towards each other. If you CAN get a mated pair, however, that would be best.

5. All corys wink. They do this to force air into their gut, because in the wild, they live in poorly-oxygenated water. It sure is cute!
