I've got a 20Gallon Long aquarium set up with my viquarium, so it's 1/2 land, 1/2 water, and I'm wondering about a good species of newts to put in there.
I really want to get a species that's going to use both the land side as well as the water side.
A few suggestions I've been given are Fire Bellys, and California Newts.
Can anyone agree/disagree, provide additional suggestions?

thanks!

Chinese fire-bellied newts would be a good choice unless you end up with one that likes to spend all its time in water. I have one that spends all its time on land and occasionally takes a quick dip.
