Matttoadman Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I added a few of these to my Fire-bellied Toad tank. Man these are cool. They are constantly swimming. I added three but I just witnessed one being eaten by a toad lol. I will definitely being collecting more from my water garden. It would be nice if they will breed. I will be adding plants that grow out of the water. This should give them a place to lay their eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redmont Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Very neat, I'd try to give a area where the toads can't get to the beetles, and I'd suggest making sure the fire bellies are always stuffed. That should help solve the problemĀ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 I had them in there as food. Like many things in the invert hobby for me they start as feeders and end up as favorites. I didn't expect them to get any actually. The toads seem not to that accurate. It was pretty neat to witness. I was preparing to take a pic of the beetle as he swam across the open water to the plants. Out of nowhere a toad dives in the water and scoops it up. It really was like a head on collision.
