Recent pic of my fire belly toad set-up...

Cool forum... thought I'd show off too! :)

The first pic was taken on Sept 21st when I set up the tank and the second was taken today. As you can see, it's filling in nicely.

It contains 4 fire belly toads, 6 White cloud mountain minnows, Pothos, Java Fern and Java Moss.

Man does Pothos ever suck up the nitrate!!

Nice naturalistic set-up. Don't know if you did it on purpose, but all of the plants and animals in your vivarium are from basically the same part of the globe.

A little interesting fact for you:

White cloud mountain minnows are from streams in southern china where they are now thought to be extinct in the wild...weird eh? since they are so common in aquarium stores

Pathos goes nuts. You're gonna need an axe soon to keep it back!

Actually I did know that they were from the same regions, however I didn't know that the white clouds were extinct in the wild! :eek: I had them breeding like crazy for me in another tank!

I expect to be trimming the pothos soon...

You're spoiling those toads! Java Fern and Java Moss are great plants to work with...some of my favourites, although I haven't had the opportunity to use them lately. Are you going to train the moss out of the water? I think with the correct humidity and enough of it submerged, it will break the surface on to a piece of driftwood or something...depends on the species though, there are two generally available, can't recall 'em right now. Maybe someone who isn't lazy like me will look it up on Google.

The moss is growing out of the water onto that big rock on the right. It's hard to see in the second pic but it's out more than an inch. I'm curious to see how far it will go!

That really is sweet looking. This new forum is going to be the bane of my existence giving me all sorts of ideas on how to spend money I don't have! LOL
