Probably not a good idea, since FBTs secrete a toxic substance. They will do well in a 20 gallon tank in colonies of 4-6 individuals.

Fish can be kept with FBTs, but it's not a good idea. More then likely the FBTs will try to eat the fish.
I have 1 Emerald catfish and 2 Otocinclus as well as 2 golden mystery snails in the bottom portion of my tank to help keep algae down. The snails have been in there for over a month now and they are still growing nicely, the otocinclus have been in there for about a month and the emerald about 2 or 3 weeks. If you have them in a large enough tank with filtration system, I also have a small air pump as well, it could work. You want to make sure you keep up with the cleaning. I skim the tank every couple of days of floating things, clean/rinse the filters once a week and once a month I replace the filters and do a good thorough cleaning job. You have to remember that Firebellies excrete toxins, they aren't like poisonous dart frogs that get there poisons from outside sources. If the water isn't changed and cleaned regularly they can even make themselves sick from their own toxins.
