Wow, very nice! That puts my tanks to shame. Those are some happy looking toads too Do you have any plans to add more in there? In a tank that size you could certainly fit more toads, plus OFBTs are a communal species anyway, so they wouldn't mind the extra company.

Thank you everyone for the positive comments Ive been thinkingabout a couple more. It is only a couple months old. I was just waiting to see if the toads would do well in this setup, so I just bought 2. The toads like to go all over the whole setup, and seem to be in good health, so I think it may be time.

The mosses were cultivated from my from near my house! exept for the bright green one, that is an evergreen (selaginella kraussiana 'aurea') I got from a garden store.

Heres some quick stats if anyone is interested

55Gallons 13"x21"x48"
Hardscape; A crap load of rocks, driftwood and plastic riverbed with sillicone.
Equipment; fluval 2 "plus" underwater filter. Standard 55G, 40watt lighting
Fauna; 2 firebelly toads
Flora; Sagittaria graminea ssp platyphylla. Rex begonia, Alternanthera Sessilis, selaginella kraussiana 'auria', baby tears and unknown mosses.
