Paddletail newt - what fish can be kept with them?

Newts are rough to have tank mates since they are either slow or tend to be super sensitive to other species around them. I’d honestly just have them as a species-only tank since they are unique enough to keep without other dither fish to keep them moving around to view.

I agree; I would keep these in their own tank.

These are really very entertaining and better to be kept single as they are also aggressive to their own kind.

Hey there fellow amphibian enthusiasts!

I just wanted to chime in on the topic of keeping fish with paddletail newts. Now, I gotta tell you, these little guys are not the most sociable creatures when it comes to sharing their space. They're more like the "leave me alone, I'm chilling" type.

But hey, don't fret! You can still create an awesome aquatic setup for your paddletail newts. Just make sure to choose tank mates that won't bother or stress them out. Small, peaceful fish like guppies or endlers could work, as long as you provide plenty of hiding spots for your newts to escape to when they need some alone time.

Remember, it's all about finding the right balance in your tank. Happy paddletail newting!

Hey amphibian admirers! 🐸

So, it seems like our paddletail newts are the introverts of the aquarium world. They love their personal space and aren't big on sharing it with fishy roommates. Imagine being at a party where everyone keeps invading your bubble—yup, that's how they feel! 😅

If you really must team them up with some fish, maybe pick ones that are chill and won't cramp their style. But honestly, these newts are such cool characters on their own that maybe they deserve the solo spotlight. Who needs a crowd when you've got a star, right? 🌟

Happy tanking! 🐠✨
