So I was just wondering if FBNs could live with either fish (like guppies) or FBTs. I have a 20 gallon tank.

I advise reading some more care sheets.

i would not advise FBT's and FBN's, both animals have different requirements for their care and enviroment.

depending on the amount of water, the size of the fish, and filtration you can add a few fish. personally i would just go with the Newts and make it easy on yourself.

That is what I though but my brother wanted to know they are cool enough on their own

I agree.

Have you put any thought into your new cage?

Sort of. Waiting for my cichlids do die out to get them. I got all of the decorations and stuff planned out and maybe like 3 - 4 FBNs will be good?

Don't let your cichlids die out

. Its sad when animals are left to die. I'm sure that a local pet store or a local fish store would be willing to take them.

And 3-4 would work, but make SURE you are willing to maintain for them for their lifespan.

No like in 1 yer when they die from naturally stuff no no no no no I would never do that

And yes in 10 years I still could

well you could try mixing FBNs with some Rosy red minnows. They can live in room temp water like FBNs and if they were to breed for some odd reason itd just be a free snack for the newt. Guppies require warmer water than FBNs prefer.
