Can newts live with frogs?
I have two Palmate newts and would like to get some tree or dart frogs to go with them. Is there anywhere online that I can find a compatability chart?

Its tricky, and theres always a risk of one species harming another, but it IS possible.
First off I'd recomend choosing an EVENLY SIZED species of TREE FROG
The reason i say evenly sized is because most tree frogs will eat almost anything they can fit in their mouths. And I would suggest a Tree frog because dart frogs are smaller and could be harmed by your newts (or their poison, however mild it is in captivity, could harm your newts)
Second Off, it is imparitave(sp?) that you make sure that the conditions each species requires overlaps.
About a compatability chart... I dont know of one, but i hope i was some small measure of help.
Good Luck!
(ps, some people may eat your head off in this forum for even mentioning mixing, just fyi!)
