I've just bought a fire belly newt and I was wondering if there is any other animal that I can put in the same aquarium.Any help?

I would probably keep to just one species per tank and get another fire bellied newt.

Not heard of anyone keeping anything different together as I would think that problems would arise like one eating the other, one toxining out the other, fighting for territory etc.

please dont mix with anything else
you may get away with it for a while, but it will almost always result in catastrophe

and whatever you do, dont take any notice of pet shop owners who will tell you almost anything to make a sale

Yep, definitely only stick to one species per tank. I'm just starting up my Amphibian collection - just bought my second tank today
