Thoughts on current FBT tank build

[blacknova84]

Thanks everyone for the replies, I'm going to the upgrade to the tank now instead of later. Tomorrow I'm going to get out all the substrate, and soil I have in the container and get it ready for a semi aquatic. Looks like Thursday's shopping list just got bigger and more expensive lol.

I'm going to finish the tank update tomorrow once I get the rest of the stuff. I'm picking up a reptifilter, some aquarium river rock gravel, 3 hides, and some reptile substrate. The left side will be filled in with gravel and have the substrate added on top of it so no empty spaces will be left, and will have the hides, and the plants I had in it will be re-added.Since Fire-bellied toads live along river banks and thanks to your suggestions I decided to do a rive bank theme. I found rocks that passed the vinegar test, and then sterilized them with boiling water. I think this is going to look fantastic ! Thoughts ?

Might add another plant in the front left corner. I picked up a new background, 3 hides (only 2 fit) gravel, the filter a screen lid, and a hydrometer/thermometer combo. Thanks again for all the help everyone !

Looks good!! Tip: put some sphagnum moss on top of the soil so they don't track the coir into the water. Don't use green moss though, just high quality sphagnum.

Would have to agree looks good. One more little tip, if those are small white stones on that flat rock and in the wood hut I would take it out. If you end up feeding them on there they could possibly eat one. Sometimes they will over or under shoot there food when trying to catch it or the cricket moves and he ends up getting the little stone. I had it happen once and luckily I was right there to catch the little bugger and pop it out before he swallowed it, he looked like he had a mouth full of pearly white teeth and he was smiling. I know you see a lot of setups were they use these little stones but IMO its just not worth the risk.
