About Fire Bellid Toads

The Oriental Fire-bellied Toad, Bombina orientalis, is actually not a toad, but a semi-aquatic frog. A very curious and active frog, as an added plus, they are diurnal, so you don't have to wait up to see them. These guys are almost comical in their antics, as they swim and hop around their enclosure, which should be at least half water.  Their bright belly coloration is there to warn predators. These frogs secret a somewhat toxic substance, that, although not dangerous to humans could harm tank mates of a different species.

I have one Fire Toad and planning to redo he's tank. I see most people are using about 4~6" (10~15cm) deep ! Is that to deep ? Do they real swim down that low ?. Right now my Fire-BT in a tank with about 1.5" (3.8cm) deep. He spend most of the time in the water floating around at the top.
I do not wish to make the water to deep for he if he's not going to make use of it.

As for Terrarium Furnishings

1) I have a big rock that have two holes in it will be great for some long leaved plants to grow inside it.

2) And one 12" long driftwood bridging from the land arae to the water side.

3) A tall water fall made up of flat river rocks stack up on top of others and being glued to together.
