Fire-bellied toads and fish

[bshmerlie]

I use a 501 canister filter and still change half the water every week.

We've purchased a Fluval 1-Plus. We'll see how this one goes. Has anyone used it?

[Rocko]

I have not used the filter, but I can say with the addition of plants, and waste treatment products, I have gone as long as 3 weeks without water changes. That being said, I'd still recommend changes more often for the benefit of everything.

Thank you again, Rocko. We'll try and change the half the water once a week. If we can clean the filter sponge on a weekly basis... We will wait a month to see how the environment is, and then add fish to it, if it is stable enough.

[Rocko]

Be careful with how often you clean the filter sponge, you don't want to upset the nitrifying bacteria that will help maintain your tank.

Thanks Rocko. I'll make more research on it.

My FBTs always seem to prefer land so mine is 3/4 land, shame because I would love to house them with fish. I'd choose Tetra, cheap, easy and fast. Even if they did become food they are cheap.
Is that callous of me?
