:I know that I'll probably get a ton of people responding to this post saying that you should never, ever mix speciesm, and feel free to do so. But I would like to know what combinations have worked for people and what they think will work. For example, can you mix species of ambystoma? I have a 40 gallon tank with an Ambystoma gracile and was wondering if it could only be paired with another of the same species (of course I don't mean paired as in breeding). Besides that, I would just like to know what people have had long-term success with mixing species.

FWIW, people commonly mix Dendrobatid species, although possibly not for deliberate breeding attempts (?). My feeling is that you are more likely to suceed with closely related species both for environmental and toxicity reasons.

Mike.
