New to frogs.. RETF, Vietnamese Mossy Frogs and Fire Bellied Toads.. help pls

[EmilySwirl]

Thank you both for your input, I really appreciate it!

So far the mossy seems to like his new enclosure and I can sneak glimpses of him climbing around at night (and occasionally calling).

I think I'll er on the side of caution with the firebellies, also so they don't eat all the crickets the RETF's need. I tried doing some searching on Google Scholar about the FBT toxins as well, I had read some anecdotal accounts about fish being killed by toxins in the water but some were successful with guppies and bettas living with them as well. I couldn't find much on the toxins they carry, it'd be very interesting if there was a simple way to measure the amount of toxins in the water over time though.
(though I don't think I'd personally want to risk other frogs or fish without knowing)

To my knowledge I haven't heard of toxin leeching into the water at all. Did you find something that said this? I'd be very interested in reading it!

Serpa Design kept Green Anoles for years with FBT. I'm not saying do it, but the idea of toxic water seems odd if the anoles drank the same FBT bath water. It was his 125 gallon. He talked a little about his experience with them. Like I said I'm not saying do it, but he at least has an experience with these toads.
