Newts Are Attacking

Posted by Nugget on December 15, 2001 at 18:38:35:

Right now i am having a big problem where my newts and a salamander are being aggressive to the others. I had a Jap. Fire Belly newt, Paddle tail newt and a tiger salamander. With these together i noticed that the fire belly ended up losing 2 legs(at different times). And the tiger salamander had lost a little tip of his tail (about 1cm lost). I had heard that paddle tails were aggressive so i seperated him. Every thing seem to be going good until i got an California newt today and the tiger salamander was trying to bite off his hind leg. Luckly i saw it and save the newt.

Right now i have the tiger and the paddle seperated from the other 2. I am wondering which one is the aggressive one? (or is it both?)

Any info would be helpful!

Ps-The main tank is 15 gallons (long) and the tiger is about 8 inches. The others are about 5-6 inches long.
