That is freaking bad ***. You're like a guppy warlord or something. A grand sacrifice to the toad gods.

Some pics of it set up. Four toads, six guppies, two snails

Nice looking set up now, but a bit more land area would be better, OFBT are usually found in the shallows amongst plant weed and the bank side, or on rafts of aquatic plants, the reason they don't eat the guppies may well be the water is to deep for them, I have never seen them feed below the water, only catching prey above water and eating it very often in shallow water, they like to be able to feel the substrate under their rear legs from my experience.
A few larger stones and lowering the water level would be better for the toads if not the fish.

Funny you should say that my guys seem to love the water. I've seen them take crickets from the water surface with ease. They also swim under the water and even rest on the substrate fully submerged. The guppies are fed and cared for as equals to the frogs. Not that I'd be heartbroken if they did eat them. Each toad as its own little personality I suppose.

That is what I said, the fish won't be eaten, as the toads will feed from the surface, but not under the water, hence shallower water at least in places lets them hunt more easily and stops the crickets drowning to quickly. My European FBT will dive under water if I startle them, or take the lid off, but they feed on the land and planted area.

As long as they feed and thrive is all that matters in the end.

Awesome setup and healthy looking toads!
Also smart move adding the snails, my tank would benefit from adding a cleaning staff.
I would suggest doing a weekly water change since you have both guppies and toads.

Thanks! The toads seem to be in heaven. Chirping and mating constantly haha. I have been doing weekly water changes and I also have carbon running in there as well.
