Here's my latest addition. A vivarium for some fire bellied toads. I added two last night and they seem to be doing well, I may add one or two more today.

It's a 15 gallon tank. The substrate is river rock (small pebbles). Behind the rock 'retaining wall' I piled up regular aquarium gravel and then topped it off with some Ecoearth. I do have some moss in there but I'm worried about impaction...I think it will be removed soon.

I've also got pothos in the water and a few live plants on the 'riverbank'. I put a little javafern in the water last night, hoping to add more today.

I bought a day glow bulb to help with the plants since they don't get much sun where the tank is now, but it is super bright! I think I need to find something with a slightly lower wattage, though the toads don't seem to mind. They certainly aren't avoiding the light.

This is my first time keeping this species so any suggestions would be appreciated
