paddletail newt and crayfish

bmovie_chick Dec 19, 2003 11:38 PM

I have a chance to get a crayfish that is about 2 inches long and i was wondering if he would be compatable with my paddletail newt he's about 2 years old and about 6 inches long....he's in a 10 gallon tank with a waterfall and a small cave for hiding with a fake plant draped over the waterfall for some more hiding areas.....i have other accomidations that i could use for the crayfish but i thought it'd be neat to have him in that tank but i don't want either one to get hurt
any replies would be appreciated
thanks!

Baaad idea - don't do it or it'll end in tears. One will eat the other (hard to say which).
