Fire Bellied Toads: Fish?

I have scene neon tetras in fbt setups on youtube and I was wondering of they would make a good fish?

I haven't had any problems with any fish in my FBT tank. I also have had great success with crabs (fiddler & red thai crabs). Granted those are smaller crabs, I wouldn't recommend big ones. I had one red thai crab that actually would go and hang out with the frogs. He wouldn't interact with them, but they would peacefully co-exist.

correct me if I am wrong...but wouldn't the poison form the FBT eventually kill the fish/crab? I was looking into doing the exact same thing with mine, but thought it would kill them

if you have good enough filtration and to consistent water changes you shouldn't have a problem, but without any of those things then yes the poison would kill them.

I have a 30 gallon tank (filled 2/3rds of the way up) with 2 filters, and usually 2-3 FBT's. The FBT basically live on the islands on top. and the crabs typically live on the bottom, except for when they come up for air. So I mean, it's a big enough tank, that whatever poison the toad's excrete, it's dilluted enough that it doesn't bother the crabs. I've had crabs live for over a year in the tank.

how often would you need to do water changes for that? I have 2 FBTs and I am currently building a 40g tank, and I would love some crabs...there will be 2 filters in it

honestly i don't change it as often as i should. Every 1 - 2 months.

But I recommend making sure there are at least a few different islands for the frogs. They don't really seem to enjoy being in the water, they almost always choose to be on land. I did have one however that would actually swim down to the bottom of tank and sit there for a little while at a time.

But that reason might be why the fish and crabs have survived for so long is because the frogs don't typically spend a ton of time in the water.

really??? i have three firebelly toads, and a twenty gaooln set up. Its half land half water and my frogs barely EVER i mean ive seen one (urlacher) on land but that was only feeding time. My frogs choose water over land

yeah i've read a lot of people say their frogs are mostly in the water. Is it shallow water? Perhaps they don't like deep water. Because tank is pretty deep (2/3rds high of water).

Thats really deep, try lowering that water level. If they can see the ground, they will always be in the water because they know its safe. If you wanna make it about 5-6inches deep, with some kind of plants (fake or real) that either float on the top or go to the top that they can hold on to and float on the water. They like to be half on land, half in the water.
Either by holding onto foating plants or sitting on a angled ground.

My toads are always in the water, either in the angled log or floating on the top with the plants. Rarley in the little cave they have on land.

Hope this help!
