:eek3: i know this may amaze some of you but i never knew that amphibian,s could get along with fish at all.:wall: i always thought that any lizards frogs newts salamanders or toads would go to town on any fish that were not big enough to snack on them.:omg: as i said i want a complete list of reptiles, amphibian,s crustacean,s ,whatever that get along with fish 1 inch to 14 inches.thanks!:welcome:
 
How about you give us your tank discription and we'll let you know what can fit in that with fish.
 
I agree with those above.... that list would take an ungodly amount of time to compile. And some comparisons would be worthless. FOr example, Leopard Geckos would not touch fish but shouldn't be kept in a tank with enough water to keep any fish alive... Much easier to pick what kind of reptile/amphibian you are interested and go from there.
 
I,m not asking for descriptions.....i,m asking for names.i have no idea what gets along with fish,i just want names that i can Google and research:I have,nt bought it yet but when i do i,m going to get a gigantic 100 gal+ tank with enough room for a 20 gal tanks worth of floor room in the water part with the waterline two and a half feet above he substrate and the land part with a 20 gal worth of floor space and a ramp made out of gravel with the floor space of a 5 gal tank leading up from the floor of the land part to a natural beach. so one of the hermit crabs i,m going to put in there could climb halfway down to the floor of the tank on a dare from his buddies,decide it was a dumb idea and climb back up unscathed.

Still too much of a list.

So, are you set on hermit crabs? I just don't know what kind of herps could live with hermit crabs, but the list of fish that could live with them is quite large.

In this case I would not build up a land area- far too much of the tank would be 'dead space' filled with gravel. Besides the waste of living space, it would also likely lead to the formation of anaerobic pockets, the source of deadly H2S gas.

Instead, build a platform. This can be attached to the sides of the tank or supported by some sort of columns. You can still have a gravel ramp- just silicone the gravel to a piece of plexiglass or other material.

Hermits, if I remember correctly, need both fresh and salt water to drink. So, the main tank could be fresh with a container of saltwater on the platform, or vice versa. Are you interested in a biotope? The most common hermit crab, Coenobita clypeatus, is from the Carribean, so you could set up a Carribean biotope with lots of mollies and Carribean killifish.
 
if you mean land hermit crabs, it wont work, im sorry to say.

land hermits need SHALLOW wter, less then 1", or they WILL drown. they need both fresh and salt water. in other words, they need TERRRIUMS not the paludarium you are describing.
