    I realize that this thread is pretty old, but for those who are reading forums searching for info...I have a 30g tank with about 6 inches of water and lots of rocks and plants for the toads. I use a Whisper in-tank filter made for 20gal. I have had my 5 fire bellies for about 6 years and put some feeder guppies in the tank with them right from the start. I thought the toads might eat them, but they did not...soabout three months later, I bought 5 fancy guppies (1 male, 4 female) and they have thrived. The feeder guppies died off pretty quickly, so now I have all fancy guppies. They breed like crazy, so now there are close to 40 of them in there at any given time. I have also tried a Mystery Snail, it did well and grew for about a year and a half then died. I didn't notice any signs of illness before it died, not sure how long they live. I put a few Ghost Shrimp in there, but after about a week I haven't seen any. My tank has a lot of little hiding spots, so who knows! I hope this is helpful!

    Do the frogs eat the baby guppies?

    It is possible that they will eat the baby guppies. Personally I wouldn't add any other species or fish in the tank.

    I added 3 male Endler/Guppy hybrids in with my last two Fire-belly Toads and the Fire-belly Toads avoided the water until the fish were removed. The fish later died which I am assuming was from the toxins from the toads. Also with koi you would need at least 1000 gallons of water and feeder goldfish need at least 40 gallons of water and a strong filter and they grow so big that they might be able to eat a Fire-belly Toad unless they died from the toxins first. With the feeder minnows you would only need about 20 gallons of water but as with any feeder fish they tend to be loaded with parasites.
