Paddle-tail newts with fish?

[kevy]

I wasn’t sure where to put this topic, so if there is a better spot for it could one of the moderators move it for me?



Has anyone kept newts (specifically paddle-tailed) with fish?

Well, I have one, and a fire bellied toad in a 10 gallon set up. On one side of the tank there is about 6 inches of water. Do you think it would be okay to keep some fish there? Just a dozen feeder guppies?

I’ve done this in the past, but I just wanted to make sure that these amphibians wouldn’t be susceptible to fish diseases.

I kept a red bellied paddle tail newt in my 42G community tank for over a year without any problems; alas the blighter kept escaping and he decided to do a houdini impression when I was away for the weekend.
