Question
Hello. Is it ok to put the fire bellied frog and the fire bellied newt in the same tank in regards to both having toxins? I read that someone put a pac man frog with the fire bellied frog, and within 15min the pac man was dead. and is their any other animals that I can put in the tank with the fire bellied frogs? thanks

Answer
Dear Joel,
thank you for your question.
Both species are toxic and especially fire-bellied newts will kill any other herp in their tank. So I don't recommend housing those species together with other animals or with each other.
I hope I was of some help to you
Jennifer
