In Reply to: Newts Are Attacking posted by Nugget on December 15, 2001 at 18:38:35:
Hey Nugget. Um, none of those animals should be together. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of community tanks, but those species DO NOT mix. Paddletails are notoriously aggressive. And Tigers? They are so big and strong that they will eventually attack and try to kill everything in the tank. The secretions of a Califorina newt give them skin problems too. It is cruel to keep the smaller newts in with them, the Tigers can quite easily tear of their legs and tails.
Keep the paddle-tail and the tiger apart, they are suitable for species specfic tanks only.
Good Luck
: 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!
: Nugget
: Ps-The main tank is 15 gallons (long) and the tiger is about 8 inches. The others are about 5-6 inches long.
