Other Amphibians I am working with are American toads. Here are some young toads that i picked up this summer and been keeping them in a tank with some ferns I got from their location. 

The tank above has no heat, being kept in a very cool basement as well. I am finding they are doing very well in this setup. Tank gets misted often but this setup lacks a water dish. The water is moist and damp and the ferns and moss are doing well. I keep large and small isopods in the tank as well. The toads are thriving on them as well as other crawlies. I have a nice colony of springtails growing in this tank. Kinda looking at this as a cool tank version of a Dart frog tank.

Wow.. I haven't logged into this or written on it in about 10 years. I actually totally forgot about this. Well tanks? I slowly got out of them but I am working on doing a few more. The one I posted on, that 20 gallon is still running. I still use that filter. I thought it was one of the coolest things. Still works like a champ.
I have also setup a few other tanks during this time and still working on them. I do have 2 newt tanks.
The species of newt posted here is a Crested Alpine Newt. Pretty awesome animal.
I am actually thinking on just posting here regularly on my "New" Tanks and other animals I am working with.

Ok folks, I am finally updating this blog..
I have been working with this tank for a year now and the 20 gallon has gone through some changes. During the summer I introduced some Ameca Splendens to the tank They are also known as the Butterfly Goodeid. A great little fish that I recommend for everyone. In my acquiring of these live bearers, I have noticed they have an appetite for Hair Algae in the tanks they are in. The males have a great bright yellow tail and just shine in these tanks. They actually have a glitter to them as they dart around the tank. A fish again, that more people should pick up. From what I hear, they are endangered in their home waters. This is very sad.

Here are some pictures of these guys. So enjoy.

Update on tank

Well folks, I have stock in the tank.
1. Male Betta
7. Purple Passion Danios
1. Hill Stream Loach
3. Guppies

I had 2 gold rams before the guppies in the tank but they both did not make it. To my surprise, the Betta bullied them. It is the first I have ever had this problem. Bettas have always been docile for me but not this time. I will update with photos later this weekend.
