    Not to worry, they don't fight. They eat each other!

    For a tank that size you might want to consider a few big toads. The candidates are the Colorado River toad - Ollotis alvaria, the rococo toad - Chaunus schneideri, the marine toad - Chaunus marina, and the smooth-sided toad - Rhaebo guttatus.

    The Colorado River toad can be expensive.

    The rococo is very expensive and makes the Colorado River toad look cheap.

    The marine or cane toad is cheap but ugly.

    The smooth-sided is a little more expensive than the marine, but no where near the first two toads discussed in price. I think it is the more attractive of the four toads.

    I don't think the cane toad is that ugly. I liked all of them though. I'm still sticking with tree frogs. But my friend won't find those in this area, I believe (though I have seen cane toads for sell). Originally, she wanted a chinese water dragon, until I told her more about them. Now she's switched to frogs, but she has a 50 gallon, so she wants something that will get a pretty nice size.

    Well if your still interesting in my idea, you could get some dividers from your local pet store big enough, and then just take some aquarium safe silicone and seal up the cracks. Give it a couple days to dry and your all set.

    That sounds cool if it would work.

    I'm not sure. The water dragon she wanted originally was $45, and I think pacmans are $25 and she was thinking of two of them. I don't think she likes the white's though.
