  1. If given the chance yes the toad will definitely try and eat your fish.  Even if the fish were big the toad may still nip at its fins.  I would not keep them together.   Toads and Frogs will eat anything that moves if it looks like food, and all small bugs look like food, so a fish the size of a bug will most definitely look like food.


  2. there's no way your pet will eat small gold fish try a pacman frog

  3. Provide a variety of live insects, including small, gut-loaded (recently fed) crickets and worms.

  4. You should not keep anything in a goldfish tank except other goldfish.  Goldfish alone require large tanks with excellent filtration.  If your two goldfish are one of the many fancy varieties, then you need to have them in a 30 gallon tank with a filter that will churn 125 gallons per hour.  If your goldfish are the single tailed variety such as commons, comets or shubunkin they really need to be in a pond.  You can keep single tails indoors but they need 50 gallons of water per fish.  As with fancies, you need to provide excellent filtration.

    The only suitable tankmates for goldfish are goldfish.  Frogs do not make good tankmates.  The reason is that goldfish are very messy and excrete a lot of ammonia.  Frogs are fairly sensitive and also have the ability to breathe through their skin.  Frogs are heavy ammonia producers, too.  Frogs need very good water quality and for this reason alone you should not keep them with goldfish.
