I was really looking into getting a frog toad or newt. What is the real diffrence and what is best? I would really like to avoid having to feed it bugs I dont mind fish but not worms or crickets please. I have a 10 gallon tank I can get anything else I need. anyone have any advise? I will take anything.

A couple of firebelly toads are really cool but you would need some kind of basking area for them to be out of the water on.
You could also have some firebelly newts in the same type of setup. I have firebelly toads, newts and African Clawed frogs, and African Dwarf frogs. I love them all but what I really enjoy the most are my African Clawed Frogs. I know you could keep them in a 10 gallon for a while but you probably would have to upgrade to a 20 long for a pair eventually. My clawed frogs eat from my hands and have such cool personality.
Here is a pic of my favorite frog Freddie...

The african clawed frogs are totally aquatic. The firebelly toads and newts need to have a place to get out. I use floating islands and extra basking areas that my turtles outgrew.
