    Default My Fire belly mounted my Mossy frog

    So since i added my fire belly to my viv he hasn't stopped calling, I'm scared he thinks my mossy is a female fire belly. I just caught him in what looked like a mounted position on my mossy, I ended up separated them at the time, should i move one to a different tank? I'm worried hes going to hurt the mossy frog, anyone think this will be an issue?
    Thanks

    -Alex

    I'm fairly new here learning what I can myself about fire bellies, however, I've seen mentioned multiple times not to house fire bellies with any other frogs due to the toxins they secrete (they can harm/kill the other frogs without intending to.) I know nothing about their, erm, love lives (lol) so hopefully someone else will chime in as well.

    honestly you shouldn't house them together at all each species of frog secrets its on toxins EVERY species is different the reason behind it is to keep rival species away from their water supply so i would separate them asap the toxins may take longer to work its effect it but eventually one or both will get sick
