    How many toads can go into a 10 gallon tank? And can any body give me a list of plants to go in with them??

    I would say 2 or 3 and 3 IMO is pushing it. A good rule to follow is 1 frog per 5 gallons, I have a 30 gallon long and I 4 in it and they are as happy as can be.

    5-6 can fit in a 10 gallon. Plants: Pothos, Wandering Jew, spider plants, Anubias, lucky bamboo, and I think I have seen people plant those Neanthe Bella Palms in water too but I could be mistaken ... There are lots of plants you could use, just look it up

    The more frogs you add, the more quickly ammonia will build up along with other water quality issues. So you'll have the added burden of checking and changing it more often.

    You can google for "vivarium plants" or "terrarium plants" and find plenty of places that sell such. You'll have to decide which plants fit your ideal world though. After all, you want your own viv.... not the viv of someone else <grin>. Do a little research. Might try to avoid poisonous plants that crickets and other fbt food may eat and pass on to your fbt. Though I'm not too sure if that is a valid concern for every plant we consider poisonous.

    I think I will use only 2 frogs.

    Is this good for lighting (keeping the plants alive to!)?

    That looks like the one I have. But I sure didn't pay 38 bucks for it. I just use the part that holds the light. I made a screened lid with some wood and aluminum screen. the light just rests above the screen a few inches.
