Newt and frog cohabitation?

Ok, I know cohabbing is almost always an absolutely horrible idea for herps and especially amphibians, but I recently went to a nearby zoo and saw a matamata being cohabbed with an emerald tree boa. It worked because they occupied completely different habitats and never interacted, so I was wondering, could the same work for amphibians?

I was thinking of cohabitating a fully aquatic newt of some sort with a highly arboreal tree frog. Would this work, or would they end up infringing on each other's space? Would toxins be an issue? If it could work, do you have any ideas for specific species? I don't actually plan on setting this up anytime soon, this is just more of an idea I had for a possible future setup. Thanks!

    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?
