Vivarium
for Fire-Bellied Toads
Fire--Bellied Newts +Dwarf African Frogs
The vivarium is a twenty gallon
long tank with gravel substrate, many river stones, and a slate
shelf covered with moss. There is a hose attached to the Fluval
2 filter leading to a small waterfall off the shelf. Heating is
25 watts submerged. Two separate lamps 10 inches above the tank
hold a small spectrum bulb and a "plant-gro" bulb.
The blur of spotty green are
two Oriental Fire-Bellies. I couldn't get the newts
to pose at all and the Dwarf Africans looked like exclamation
marks. I will continue to try. The toads eat crickets every other
day and wax worms every day. The newts like the same fare. The
Dwarfs have a variety of fish food.
That's one little toad enjoying the shower
