So I currently have a 30 gallon tank with my JFBN and I was wondering if putting goldfish in there too is an okay thing to do. I have two tiny little goldfish in another tank that I had in mind.
Thanks
 
Its a very bad idea. Many fish will either eat the newt eggs/larvae, or just out compete them for the available food supply.
Newts will only choose to live in water bodies without any fish in them. If they detect the chemical presence of fish in the water they will often abandon the habitat and go in search of somewhere more suitable. Goldfish get big and greedy, so forcing your newts to share a tank with them will normally result in stressed out animals that refuse to eat or go in the water and spend most of their time trying to escape from the aquarium.
 
Well that answers that question then. And I honestly was pretty sure it wasn't doable but I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks :D

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
