20 G Long FBT setup?

[JokerHA90]

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. I was just wondering if you guys had any advice for me with my new firebelly toad setup I plan on working on. I am moving my Ball Python collection to a rack system, and I am going to have a nice 20 gallon L tank open to work with. I want to have about 6 FBT's and a few fish, mixed with some live or fake plants. I want to make 1/2 of the tank land, and the other 1/2 water (above 5 inches deep). I am going to buy a small water filter also.

What kind of substrate should I use for the land area? Also, what are some cool live plants I could use in my setup, and what are some other animals I can house with FBT's?

Firebellies are toxic so you can't house other animals with them

I keep it simple myself. You could set it up like a fish tank with fine gravel as a substrate (well below the water line), plant it with plants that will emerge above that water line or floating plants like water lettuce, and provide platforms on which the toads can crawl up on. Drift wood, whether artificial or real, works well for this. You will have to feed them in another enclosure, such as a Rubbermaid box, as crickets drown so easily.
