ok. ive never thought about crested geckos swimming. although i highly doubt they are adept swimmers, but some shallow water, perhaps with well-textured banks would be good enough for a crestie to get out, should it decide to take a dip. i think it would be a real attractive setup, but like others have mentioned, it would be difficult to set up. especially if screen/moss is covering the top of the water, it would be quite a mission to get the fish fed or do any cleaning. perhaps if you built a bottom layer with gravel and some type of bottom filter for a fish tank, it would work out because that way you wouldnt have to worry about stagnant water. i also doubt if your crested gecko were to fall in that it would just freeze and die, granted it had something to grip to and climb out. as far as fish, im sure you would wanna keep them tiny. the worst thing i can think of is the fact that crested geckos (as so many other lizards) seem to love to expel waste right over water (expecially water dishes). so if you're willing to put in a whole lot of effort, im sure its doable. as for the compatibility with other geckos, that can get tricky. you never know how your animals will fare in the end. there are suggestions of other species of insects/animals that can tolerate sharing living space with crested geckos printed in the rhacodactylus book. like so many others, i suggest you pick up a copy. one of the main things to make sure of is that they all require the same habitats as well as conditions (temp humidity). good luck.
