as a keeper of lots of amphibians inculding emperor newts and fire belly newts i would have to say u need to look again at the care needs of these species

fire belly newts need cool deep water (more than 6 inches) and only need a small land area

fire belly newts also have a strong skin toxin that may harm cage mates

fire belly toads are quite an aggressive species to those who not of the same species.

fire belly toads like large shallow water areas (1-2 inches) with less land than water

emperor newts need larger area's of land with a shallow (no more than an inch)

emperor newts also get much larger than fire belly newts and could harm the smaller species

fire belly toads have a very strongskin toxin that can (and probably will )harm any cage mates

8 gallons is the minimum for 2 fire belly toads by themselves and a 15 is needed for the emperors by themselves

also mixing any species of amphibian need to be carefully thought out enclosures must be large (take the minimum for both species and ad it together and u hav your minimum) they have to go through 3-6month quarantine, they have to be carefully monitored for months. species must be carefully selected with habitat temps humidity stress levels and any toxins carefully researched and thought out. even then there are loads of risks (explained here http://www.amphibiancare.com/frogs/articles/commun... so u need a large amount of luck.

please re think what u are doing. most people dont mix untill the have a few year of keeping amphibian species and after doing mountains of research. and many never mix as they see it as too high a risk to there animals

please ignore Gecko097 he's a lier he says he has had a mix tank fro over 3 years but is now annoyed after i proved through his own questions log that he got his first amphibian 3 months ago. he doesnt know what he's talking about. and doesnt accept advice. please he's an ignorant fool.

if u wish to talk about mix further with me u can find me at http://www.reptileforums.co.uk/ my user name is spend_day
