Housing Newts with Tropical Fish
Often, newts are purchased and thrown into tropical fish tanks, where they soon die and/or kill other members of the tank. Tropical fish require warm water temperatures (72°F-86°F), and caudates require cooler water temperatures (62°F - 68°F). Their habitats simply are not compatible with each other. Also, many fish have the tendency to nip at passive creatures, such as newts, and because newts are poisonous, this can kill the fish. Finally, all newts require a land area of some sort (even if it is only used for two minutes out of the year).
