Hello everyone,
I am setting up a small 10 gallon it's a 60/40 land to water ratio with plenty of vegetation it is currently house with a single goldfish and a couple more will be added soon. What I am looking for is a small active frog that likes to swim and go on land. I really would like to put some fire belly toads in there but I fear their toxins will kill the fish even with a decent filtration system. I was curious if there are similar non tree frogs in size to the FBTs that I can add to this tank. I have looked into it quite a bit and have come up short on answers.
Thanks
PS.
Looks like I posted this in the wrong forum.
Welcome to the forumNope this is the right forum!
I would say that your goldfish will most likely outgrow that tank, they can get to be over 12"The Fire belly toads are best left in their own aquarium with a 50/50 water to land ratio.the land portion can be as simple as a floating dock or gravel sloped to one side with moss, plants and river stones. The goldfish's waste will most likely poison the toads. For more info look here > Frog Forum - Fire-Bellied Toad Care and Breeding - Bombina orientalis and relatives

As Ryan discussed, sorry; but your planned set-up is not going to work. A goldfish gets huge and won't fit in a 10 gallon for long; much less a partitioned shallow area of it. They carry parasites that can get your frog sick. Playing around with different fishes/frogs will bring you to similar non-working set-ups since a 10G tank is just too small to pull that off. If built correctly, can keep FBT by themselves

Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog!
An option for a semi aquatic frog beside fbt's would be Vietnamese mossy frogs, but they definitely would need a much bigger enclosure.
