No! Fire bellied toads are not appropriate animals to be kept with fish, they secrete toxins through their skin that could harm your fish.

Fire-bellied toads live in northeastern China, throughout North and South Korea and in the Khabarovsk and Primorye regions of Russia.

Fire bellied toads are always active and are diurnal. They can be aggressive with smaller tank mates & may try to eat other animals. The red belly of these frogs is midly toxic. Like with any frog, handling should be kept to a minimum and wash your hands after contact.

Price Range: Approximately $5 to $10. Most are wild-caught import babies, as captive-bred specimens don’t demand high enough prices for breeders to focus on them. You can buy a Fire Bellied Toad for sale on our main website.

Fire belly toads eat crickets, waxworms and red wigglers. Feed young toads once a day and adults 3 or 4 times a week. Dust insects with calcium supplement 2 or 3 times a week.

It has been well described how colour can change in many amphibian species due to environmental conditions such as humidity and especially temperature and often frogs and toads or even salamander larvae are much darker when their body temperature is low.

Temperature. Maintain daytime temps to stay between 70 – 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Nighttime temps can dip as low as 60 degrees. No basking light is needed for Fire Belly Toads, however, as they are a cold tolerant amphibian.

Green anoles, small day geckos, and treefrogs can be kept with fire-bellied toads because they occupy a different ecological niche in the terrarium. Species active during the day, such as anoles and day geckos, are a good balance with these frogs. However, animal density should be small.

Feeding three to six food items every two or three days works well for adult frogs. Juveniles should be fed more frequently. High quality vitamin and mineral supplements should be used to coat the food offered to adult frogs every two to four feedings, while juveniles should have their food supplemented at every meal.

Live gut-loaded crickets, mealworms, nightcrawlers, eathworms, wax worms butterworms, small grasshoppers are voraciously taken. Sprinkle food with calcium daily and with a mineral supplement once or twice a week.
