Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hi, I got a "Waters-Edge Bio Habitat" for Christmas. I would like to have both fish and amphibians in there. I was thinking about having either fire bellied newts or toads. Would I be able to keep fish with these species or would the toxins produced by the amphibians kill the fish? I'm not worried about the amphibians eating the occasional fish, but I dont want the fish to constantly harass the amphibians. Many years ago I had fire bellied toads and put a betta in their tank, the beta would ram the toads whenever they went in the water and he had to be removed. So I need fish that will not be bullied and harassed by the amphibians and vice verca. Oh, and I would like it if the fish would clean up any crickets that drowned in the water.

Can anyone suggest species of fish that would work in this setup?

Small, nonaggressive fish such as guppies are compatible with firebellies.
I don't know exactly what this "Water's Edge BioHabitat" thing is, but I assume it does not come with a filter. Without a filter, you do run a greater risk of toxins building up in the water. This risk will be significantly minimized by frequent complete water changes.
Guppies will eat a variety of things. They will probably eat the remains of dead crickets, but not until the carcasses have already started to cloud the water. I suggest hand-feeding the firebellies so food is distributed evenly and is not left uneaten to dirty up the enclosure. That's what I do with my Chinese firebellied toads.
