flipperyflop is on a distinguished road
Default so i came home today...

and found three new not so cheap inhabitants in my FBT's home... My husband saw them at the pet store, and impulsively bought them, even though i very specifically told him he shouldn't mix species...but he did! he bought them when i was out with the kids. So now, in our very UNFINISHED 50 gallon tank, we have two fire bellied toads, an albino african clawed frog, an african tree frog, and a white lipped tree frog.

I don't know what to do. I'm horrified that they're going to die. they're all beautiful, and I can understand him wanting them, but arghhh he has no idea what he's doing! I am only beginning to understand half of this stuff, he's never even done any of the research. he knows nothing of the environments they prefer or the food they eat heating lighting humidity.... i feel like screaming or hitting him. I went to the pet store today and hurridly bought some plants to put in my substrate and put in this tall piece of driftwood ive been saving for my final project in their tank to try and make the tree frogs a little more comfortable..but the 3 hours ive had to research these guys hasnt been enough

so now I need your collective help.

What do I need to do first. They are ALL right now in my 50 gallon. I only have one other tank, I've only just begun working on (a 10 gallon) I just applied the GS to it, and was planing on using cement to make faux rocks, so i need atleast 1 week probably before its inhabitable.

What will happen if they are housed together? How long do I have to seperate them? How many if any can be safely housed together?

What environment does each species need? What foods do they prefer?
Just HELP!

Please!

might be best to take them back to the store.
