    Hard to tell from photo composite how it looks. Recommend show individual pics when water plants are in .
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​

    What fishes do you plan to keep with frogs? Here is a nice article about FBT's care: Frog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives .

    A couple things concern me - - the grid of your supports is wide enough for a slim frog to get through or a fat frog to get stuck. Both could result in drowning.
    Secondly, the ornament with the glitter has to go - they can easily climb on that and the glitter is not healthy to have stuck all over their skin.

    Koi fish need a POND or a minimum 6-8 foot tank (even that is only temporary!)
    Feeder fish? Do you mean goldfish or minnows? Feeder goldfish (which are comet/common goldfish) will grow WAY too big for your tank. Like Koi (in fact, same family) they grow very large and need massive systems.
    Sucker fish, I am going to assume you mean a type of Pleco or corydoras. You need to be more specific. MOST plecos grow over a foot long, cannot be housed in your tank. Even a smaller species is going to be unneeded and cramped in this tank as it is small. You don't have a need for a "sucker fish". You should be able to handle the tiny amount, if any, algae growth by just doing basic water changes and not over feeding.

    A school of corydoras MIGHT be alright, you need sand substrate and be very diligent on the water changes as the oils/toxins in the fire bellies skin that is released into the water by their swimming will be very harmful to the cories.
