FBT’s and red-eared slider 
i have a tank with 2 oriental fire bellied toads and 3 fish and i wanted to know if i can move my sister’s baby red eared slider turtle into the tank with the toads. will the toads toxins affect the turtle? the res wont be in the tank for that long, just until we buy a new tank to replace the one it was in before(it cracked). thanks.

Before you make a decision read up on all the research you can on the slider. It may not only be the FBTs effecting the slider that you have to worry about. Does the FBT tank have a good filter? I read that turtles foul their water fairly regularly and so do FBTs. You’d have to do frequent water changes and watch for the toxicity level. Oh, yeah, how big is the FBT tank, and how big is the slider. Both species do not live in proximity to one another in the wild so even for a little while it might be dangerous. Don’t take my word, though. Get as much research as you can. LOL!reako45

i have owned re-ear sliders for many years they won’t hurt the toads, but if you know that the toads have toxins it’s best not to do it because turtles catch disease and illness fast. i also use to own FBTs and i found them harmless. i still wouldn’t try it if i was you it could hurt the turtle.
