I was wondering if it's possible for my new Iberian ribbed newt to live in the same tank as other species. Are there some particular types that would fit? Would a neotenic member of the same species be suitable?

Thanks
 
Small ones can live with other species temporarily. Their voracious appetite and breeding behavior will become a problem as they mature. Most salamanders do best in a one species tank.
 
Mine is a three-year-old female, measuring roughly 5 inches. I would probably feed them separately. If I introduced another species now, would she get used to it as she got older, and therefore not behave so aggressively towards it?

No.

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
