This is my male Fire Belly Toad named Mr. Toad (how unique, right?). I've had him for almost 6 monthes

Hey! I I've still got my two red bellies. We just re-did their cage to a more aqua less land thing. They seem pretty happy about it.I added two little gold fish in there and I think Lucy is going to eat them! She seems to want to consume anything that moves! They've been in there for two days, but I think Lucy is developing stratagies for the kill. She just sits under water and watches them. It freaks me out a little bit!

I never really thought about putting fish with him in a lager tank. Interesting idea though.

I had reservations at first but the fish seem bright enough to get away from the toads if they feel threatened. I have been putting live water plants in for good hiding spots.

The most amuzing part is that one of the toads seems to really like the fish food! He hunts for it. It cracks me up. It is mostly fish protein so I don't think it'll hurt him.
They also devoured these tiny snails that were attatched to the plants I put in. They truely will eat anything!

Cool little fellow - we used to have a Wild Ride for him here at Disney, but they changed it to something else a couple of years ago.....

I'll have to pass this on to my daughter. She has Tutu the Turtle (named by the g'daughter) that she just loves; this looks like something that would catch her fancy too!

How much water is in the tank and how much land, just out of curiousity if I ever decide to try anything like that?

I have one inch of stones on the bottom of the tank . I piled about two inches in the center of the aquarium and put a few large rocks on top of that to make about one third of the tank a land area. the rest is water, about three and a half inches in the deepest part. I have a filter on the one side of the tank to help keep it clean and a couple of live plants on the other side to make a hiding spot for the fish. They hide behind the rocks too. The roks are really just barely above the water and they form an island.

Awesome idea!
