    Question Why won't my 4 Fire Belly Toads go in the water?

    I have a 20 gallon long aquarium with 1/2 water (4" deep) with a Decorative Reptofilter waterfall Made By: TETRA USA INC. The other 1/2 fine coconut substrate. There are two small aquatic turtles (2") in the water at all times and very rarely come on land and I have four Fire Belly Toads that will not go in the water.


    Is the water that's flowing "scare" them or is it the turtles?


    Thanks,
    From a "Newbie"

    P.S. Both have very easy access to both the land and water

    I would have to say the turtles would be the problem. I'm not sure if I would mix the two, as Fire-Belly toads are toxic. I don't know much about turtles, I admit, but try separating the two and see what happens.

    Hi there jersey chuck, welcome to the forum.

    I agree with Jace. I would definatly separate them.

    Fire-bellies always think something is going to eat them. Remove turtles, replace water with clean, de-clor water and I bet the frogs are in the water all the time. All the best.
