Freshwater Toads

[PerryClem0842]

I went to my LFS the other day and I asked whether I could have freshwater toads in my brackish tank, he said yes this should be fine,
just asking just in case if anybody else has had these before?

You'd have to be more specific on the species of toad, but generally speaking, no, you shouldn't put freshwater amphibians in a brackish tank. Of course, it depends on the species and the salinity of the tank.

ok thats fine thanks

Absolutely not!

The cane toad has the Latin name Bufo marinus and for this reason is sometimes though to be somehow related to the sea. But it's not. The one brackish water amphibian is a species called Rana cancrivora but I've never heard of it being sold as a pet.

Cheers, Neale.
