Is there any? I am building my 45g paludarium and was wondering if there where any amphibians that wwould tolerate a warmer water, say 70-75? I dont mind doing a coldwater tank if that is all I can do but a warm water tank would open soo amny fish possibilites.
 
Sure, many sub tropical species would work with those temps.
 
Contrary to popular belief, FBN are actually a temperate species that does best with water temperatures below 70 F. They actually get stressed and are susceptible to diseases if the water temperatures are allowed to reach higher than 75 F for long periods of time.
 
How about some type of Dart Frog or if you're willing to raise the temperature to about 80-85 F. you could keep Red Eyed Tree Frogs.
 
Vicious....I love you. That opens sooo many ideas! How bout tigar barbs and Red Eyed Tree Frogs??


Actually the only thing I am worried about is having enough land for them
 
Stop, you're going to make me blush lol.


Well here's the thing. Darts don't do good with water. Believe it or not but they are horrible swimmers and will die in deep water. I'd go the route of RETF if I were you. As long as you have a lot of plants and sticks to climb on they should be fine with the water. But if you want to do barbs and go for and "Asian" theme, you should check out Vietnamese mossy frog. They are totally wild looking!
 
Wow Vicious, those mossy frogs are crazy, so is their price. Cheapest I found was $50. I dont think I could squeeze the wife for 4-5 frogs. I also the Red Eyed Tree Frogs pretty cool looking. I hate having an empty tank, I never know what to stock!
