Hey there, I've got a Spiny eel (10inches) and a plecostomus (6 inches) in a tank, no other animals in there right now, there's a large log already in the tank for the pleco to suck on, a heavy filter, and a number of hiding places for the eel, the water temp is a constant 75*F, and there is about one teaspoon of salt to every five gallons.

I just took over the care of a 4inch long paddletail newt (Pachytriton labiatus) and was curious if he would be able to go into this tank with the eel. My main question is if anyone has ever had a newt and a larger eel before together. The other issue is if the temp is to high for the newt and if the salt will bother him?
