Hi all, i have a 190 gallon tank and want to keep salamanders, preferably tiger, with frogs, i googled it but couldn't find much info. Does anyone know if this will pose any problems.
Many thanks in advance:happy:
 
Hi Stefano,

A 190 gallon tank must be huge! Even so, to quote the Species Mixing Disasters article from the Caudata Culture site, "Salamanders and frogs are carnivorous predators. Thus the potential for disaster is rather high." Generally, it is best to keep single-species environments.

Many thanks, great links, greatly appreciated,thanks again:D:love:

P.s, just upgraded my fish tank to 400 gallon ( Oscars, A sucker cat fish and a small black cat fish(not sure which breed))
Was thinking of using the other tank as a teterrium to keep amphibiums.
 
Are you sure that's not liters! If that's gallons that's gotta take up something the size of my bedroom!
With a tank that size you might be able to buy a glass divider and keep the two species on seperate sides, give there temperatures weren't too different and their requirments could be maintained.

    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?
