I have 2 fire-bellys. We call them our little barking puppies since they are so vocal. Mine stay in the water most of the time. What I did was use plastic plants, this is best if you are not going to have any filtration. Without filtration, it will not take long for the water to get stagnant and nasty which is not good for them. The water must be changed often or their skin can be burned from urine accumulation in the water. I have a smooth rock that they can climb out of the water on and then plants that they can also climb up on. The water is also filtered. Don't forget if you have city water (chlorinated water) the water must be treated (I use reptimin) to remove the chlorine. If you use any kind of critter soil, make sure there are no large pieces of wood in it as your frogs may swallow the pieces of wood. To be sure get as much of the wood out as possible by sifting it. Better safe than sorry. I do not use soil because the moist conditions can cause fungus. Good luck with your froggies!.

definatly use moss and dark dirt, only mist the moss so if the toads want to be dry in the dirt they will have the option, also keep a light on the dirt for maybe six hours a day. use large sticks that the toads could climb up on, it would be good if the sticks or bark was also covered in moss.
