I bought a "generic" houseplant at Walmart to put into a Fire-Bellied Toad vivarium at the library. While cleaning the tank, and watering, etc. today, I discovered it was blooming. It is one of the oddest blooms I've seen. Anyone know what it is?

They seem to thrive on toad manure.

Toad manure is what Fire-Bellied toads turn their food into. This plant is rooted in coconut fiber in the Fire-Bellied toad vivarium at the library.

Ahhh right thanks Dan. I had a sneaky suspicion it might be that but didn't want to give myself a red face by presuming it was toad poo.

It looks good Sharon but I think I'd rather keep them seperate as I don't think there's enough oxygen in that vase for the poor Siamese fighter to survive for long.
