NO!!!!!! It takes many years of experience and extensive research to mix any kind of species in a tank. Natural parasite, germ, feeding, behavior, and many other things can lead to disaster! Amongst all else you are mixing very sensitive moist and sometimes toxic skin types together. This is a universal no no all around.
Re: What could live in a 20 gallon long that is semi aquatic ?
i have kept firebellies, and fish together with tree frogs, in a 4ft aquarium, filled about 40%. I had a pump that turned itself on and off according to water level. It would pump water back in about every 5 minutes which i made run down a log and splash a little at one end causing a misting effect. I had to replace the aquarium lid with a narrow gauge wire mesh to prevent condensation.
I aquascaped and landscaped with plenty of plant for hiding places.I had a disguised feeding table at the back just above the water line to place live food items onto. Mostly worms. The firebellies ate them and those that fell into the water were eaten by the fish.
I would love to say this was a huge success and to an extent it was. The fire bellies and the fish flourished ...but...the tree frogs never really got going and in the end i removed them and just kept the fire bellies and the fish.
