Tank mates for my Fire-Bellies?

I would think that the fish might die down the road. Eaten or die from the toxins. The pacman would eat the Fbt, and maybe die from toxins. The tree frogs who knows. so at the end you will have a ETS,empty tank syndrome.lol

I'm still new but wanted to know the same thing you were asking. I read around and everything comes back like other members have said...don't mix! I thought about a Beta, however after reading about that, frogs have been found missing toads when they have beta's in their tank, so I nixed that idea. The only thing I have in my tank with my babies are Mystery Snails in the water for clean up. They come in yellow, which added some color. One has been in there a week in a half and is healthy and growing and I just bought two more because of the brown algae bloom from the aquarium finishing cycling. There are many different types of aquarium snails, some with spikes and different colors or different shell shape that could add some texture and color. However, I would read about the snail and their hardiness. Just a thought Oh and you would need to give them some algae wafers when algae was down, because they will die quickly.

I have 3 FBTs in a 10 gallon aquarium, with plenty of dry land for the toads, a waterfall and about 3 inches of water. I have 3 white minnows ($.13 each at petsmart) that have been very happy in there for about a month.

i wouldn't suggest a mystery snail - we had one with just 1 fbt and i noticed after a while his shell started to deteriorate and he eventually died. it may have been a fluke, but my guess was the snail couldn't handle the fbt's toxins.

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?

[Flying Dutchman]

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

Okay, this snail most likely died from calcium deficiency. Lack of calcium causes snail's shells to deteriorate and eventually die.

[Cliygh and Mia 2]

Hmm, interesting. I did not know snails could be affected by that. The more you know

Can fire bellied toads and yellow bellied toads live together
