Toads watch me

[Larry Wardog]

My setup is going in my Uncle's old fish tank. I don't know the size, but it's 5ish feet long, truvu brand. Used to be used for a giant tropical fish tank, so it'll need some cleaning. It's 5ish feet long, 3-4 feet wide, 2+ feet tall. Feel free to guess the gallon size, I'll leader it eventually. I plan to make a thread on it when I get started on it. I've been reading your threads and decided on a paludarium, complete with a weak filter. Your threads were invaluable reading, by the way. What kind of plants are you using? I saw philodendron or pothos in some pics but couldn't pick any others out.

Hey thank you very much I'm very glad to see that the threads inspired you [emoji4]so a Paludarium that's interesting. If you've seen my threads then I'm assuming you're thinking about doing a Leopard Frog and Toad setup or something with a frog? Right now that enclosure will be big enough for you to have sexed pairs if you go that route. For tropical plants yes pothos is my top suggestion. It's the plant that can never die! Peace lilies and Rabbit Foot Ferns would do great with the Toads. You have the height so a native autumn Fern will also do well in that setup. Mine is over a year old in my enclosure.

I thought about a mixed species vivarium/paludarium, but I mostly just want to have woodhouse's toads in it, maybe some fish in the water, with a filter. I just thought it looked so natural the way you set it up, with a few aquatic plants, logs, and a pond area for them, plus I want them to be able to breed. I figured with my Uncle's tank I can house 6-7 toads, maybe even 8, enough for a few pairs of toads.

I have a YouTube channel and you can see the setups on video to help you get a visual. The bin I had was too big for Toads. They rarely went in it. I think about 3-4 inches would be all that you would need for the toads. If you have that consistently for a stretch of tank then small fish are possible. I would go with Mosquitofish because they are native and imo the hardiest fish. But if you have fish it will mean more work for breeding because amphibians don't like to lay eggs where there are fish
