    No, it will kill your frogs.

    Whites get much larger than Fire Bellies. They will eat the toads. The toads are poisonous, which will kill the tree frogs when they eat them. Even if they don't eat each other right away, the toad poison will be in the water, which will cause the frogs to avoid it and dry out. They may also have diseases or parasites that one species can live with, but the other can't.

    You should never mix species.

    Just get a second tank. Depending on how many you have of each, just a 10 gallon and a 30 gallon tank will work. They don't take up much room.
