I think a firebelly toad will pick on the betta. They will probably try to eat it! Not sure if that is too great of a combintation...
Fire belly newts..?

Well, ADFs are pretty pretty peaceful but even they will snap at a betta if they get too close....they're just really too small to do much of any harm. Firebellied toads get a bit larger.
I once saw my adf go for a nantucket sleigh ride on one of my bettas...lol...he grabbed his tail and off he went ....it was pretty funny, but I did end up taking the toad out of the tank so that wouldn't happen again. He was in that river tank setup and the water just isn't deep enough for the fish to get away from the frog.

Shadrac,
Toads and frogs will eat anything that will fit into their mouths. If you would put anything in your tank, I would try common guppies. They are fast and would pretty much leave the toads alone as well as avoiding being lunch. And plus they would breed and keep a constant supply of fry for you.

Thats a good point i have some guppies in my newt tank and they bread like crazy. Every morning i wake up it seems like there are more little ones in there.
I've been doing some research on fire-bellied toads, but I get conflicting information. Some sites say they prefer 3/4 land and 1/4 water, yet others say 1/4 land and 3/4 water. Which combination is better?
ok i have another idea im not sure i would do it since it would cast alot but if it did work i would be awsome. my LFS has poisen arrow frogs do you think that this would work with the toads.
the reason i was thinking this is because the arrow frogs are in a tank with a stream and waterfall and im all like hmmm interesting then my head wount stop comming up with ideas for about a week or i see something else new. i cant help it its how i am

I think you are better off just keeping one species with only like kinds. Especially with the dart frogs. They can be so expensive it's not worth risking one of them getting eaten.
If you want fire bellied toads, then just do up a tank with only those in it. If you want another something, do up another tank for them.

I am with EMG on this one, stick with only PA frogs or just the toads, but remember witht he PA frogs you can not have to much water. They will drown in pools.
As for how much water for the FB toads, I would go with a 25% land and 75% water but I would have floating logs in the water and duck weed in there as well. Give those guys plenty of cover.
