I keep my 3 fire bellied toads in my 20 gal tank with a water terrarium setup. I recently got live plants to make the tank more exotic and I also bought a few guppies for the toads to chase. My toads have been a bit thin so I am feeding them a lot more and I am using vitamin dust to keep them healthy. I got a new TC-20 318 Turtle Filter than works fantastic for the frogs. I plan making more updates soon. Wish me luck!

cool! I have always wondered if these frogs were messy enough to require a filter. Is it just mechanical or do you need biological filtration for them too?
I use biological filtration just because I have the fish, but you could do well without the bio with toads.
In my 40 gallon paludarium I have 2 FBTs, along with a green tree frog, a red zebra mbuna, and an American Toad. I have had the FBTs with a variety of other animals before with no problems, and I don't use a filter. Just a once weekly water change and a small pump to make some water movement (waterfall). The FBTs won't even go in the water, instead choosing to burrow with the American Toad (the three are always together in a burrow under the coconut shelter). Thought I'd share.
BTW Zachary, the FBTs will probably eat the guppies (mine did so I put in my 3 inch Red Zebra Mbuna, who actually does very well with them).
