this is off topic of saltwater but... does anyone know of anystores that cary newts firebelly to be exsact. does elmers if so i want to run up tonight. i have a really nice tank setup for them were they can live and be happy. its not a cheese tank like some peoples were they just slope the gravel to make a pond but i think mine has some artisttry behind it. ill post pics later but my main intrest is finding a store that has them.

i tired to make it as natural as posible with alot of over hangs. and i like the fact that u can see alot of some rocks on top of the water looking from the top but you dont relize that they peirce the the waters surface and gives it a reall look let me know what you guys think.
 
i got rough back newts there huge like 6 inches big and there very active not at all like firebellys. i plan on geting some fidler crabs and a sort of frog with clowed minnows for the tank.
 
That's a nice set up, you should maybe try growing some anacharis or frogbit in there to help with water quality.
Personally I wouldn't mix amphibian species together, the toxins they produce might harm both species in the long term. :)
 
ill post pics of the finshed setup up 1010010101 times better then this look same style better finished looked. ill do more reasearch on the mixen and matchen deal but for now im happy my big guy is very freindly and loves his water slide aka the water fall lol.
