Thnx for the replies.
One more for you (hope it doesnt annoy)
Theres so many sites and links that say different things, I dont know how many fbt you can put in a 10 gallon tank
Above they say 2 or 3, in some books 5 of them ''can live comfortably'', and in this link Frog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives
it says 6.

I know how you feel, a while ago I was wondering the same thing. I asked a friend of mine, he is an amphibian expert and he said you can put up to 3 Fire Belly Toads in a 10 gallon tank, if you put 4 in the 10 gallon tank then it would be really crowded which would make them not happy. Also if you only put 1 fbt in a 10 gallon tank then the toad would get sad because Fire Belly Toads live in groups.

as far as moss goes, I have sphagnum moss in mine and it's where I feed. I haven't had any problems. If they get some in their mouth, they pull it out

Hi Michael,

In reply to your last question, it's really a question of stress. I originally started with 6 toads in a 10 gal., which is suggested in the care guide listed on the Frog Forum. The toads may have been just fine since they all seemed to get along well. I made the decision to put them in a larger tank because I felt that it was tight on space, I built an environment in a 55 gal. Big upgrade! Some still hang together and others seem to like the extra space. It was a question of $$, Petco was having their tank sale and it bothered me that they were only in a 10 g. So in making me happy, my FBT's lucked out and moved out of an "apartment" and into a full size house.
