I thought I’d ask first before I purchase a newt.

Hi.
I went to the pet store yesterday and saw a newt. I thought it looked cool for an aquarium. I was thinking, since it was in a water with african dwarf frogs, that I could put one in my aquarium. I have a couple question about them.

Would they settle well in a community tank with fish?

What do you feed them?

What should the lay-out of the tank be?

What should I do to make them happy?

Could I keep a solitary newt in a community tank?

How do you care for them (tank size, temp and ph, etc.)

Here are the fish I have: 4 Cherry Barbs, 2 Corydoras Catfish and 1 otocinclus. Also, the water in my tank is all the way to the top.

Please list any preparation that I would do.

I THOUGHT I WOULD ASK FIRST BEFORE PURCHASING!!

Thank you very much for your help.

Two of my angels had laid a bunch of eggs on the heater and other places several times. They guard them together, but then the eggs turn opaque and disappear. It’s a 75 gallon mixed community tank. Any way to keep the eggs from dying that’s not too complicated for an amateur?

What are these compatible with? I saw some at a fish shop but I never like to ask the employees anything. I have a tropical community, 55 gallon tank with some platies, mollies, smaller tetras. I really liked the way these fish looked but I really don’t know anything about them and can’t find much on compatibility for them on the net.

Is it really caused by stress ? My loach does it every once in a while for no reason at all. i have had him for a month and he acts perfectly healthy and happy. he has his hiding spots, swims around, eats regularly, has no problems with his community tankmates….

Is greying out a warning sign of being unhealthy or is it just something they do ?

Thanks!
