Ok well heres the deal I have a 20 gallon tank (long) and its half land half water with a river running down the land part so its a nice set up so I want something cool to put in it basically...how many? what? anyting I should mix? shouldnt mix? and also I would like something that would eat feeder fish and things like that. I currently have had a whites tree frog for 4 years now and hes doing awesome in his 20 tall tank so I wanna make a new tank so any advice would be sweet thanks

How about a small group of fire-bellied toads? They sound like a great candidate for your tank. You could probably keep a group of three to six in that size aquarium. The only other easy-to-find semi-aquatic frogs that come to mind right now are true frogs of the genus Rana like leopard frogs, green frogs, bull frogs, etc. but they don't make good captives in my opinion. Both kinds of frogs don't usually eat feeder fish and do best on a diet of crickets and other common feeder insects. Occasionally Rana species will snag a feeder from the water area but it doesn't happen often. Regarding mixing species, you might want to read this article: http://www.amphibiancare.com/frogs/articles/communitytank.html Good luck,
