  1. NO. ok first all of these require massively different set-ups the tiger salamander needs shallow water, mainly land and a cool viv, the emperor newt needs deep water a 1/3 of the tank land and it to be cool, the pacman needs very shallow water and it to be warm. i would really advise u dont get any of these u clearly havent done the correct research into the needs and care of these pets.

    What the people above say is true pacmans are aggressive and will eat anything that will fit in there mouths (tails feet etc when there small and the whole thing where there big. pacmans also need to be kept seperate.

    tiger salamanders also eat anything that the can but are less agressive but if it gets hungry the emperor newt would be dead i seconds.

    finally u should never mix species anyway Never mix different species of any reptile or amphibian here's why

    common problems include

    eating each other (its surprising what will at least try to eat what)

    Attacking/ killing each other (2 animals that dont normally live together will sometimes fight.

    stress (makes for ill reptiles just being near even a species from the same geological range can be stressful to these animals)

    Incompatible toxins bacteria and illnesses (especially with phibs but is common with others 2 just cause one species can handle one type of bacteria/doesn't mean they all can these animals evolved in totally different ways meaning there resistant to different things, as for toxins many phibs and invert have these as defence mechanisms and can easily kill or make the others ill)

    just because 2 animals require similar set-up and temps doesnt mean there suitable

    u clearly have no idea about keeping phibs otherwise u would know all this already. mixing is not ever recommended.

    seroiusly dont get any of these pets until you know what your doing. take the next month to read some books and go through sites such as

  2. no the pacman frog would eat them

  3. Can you put a hungry man, a BigMac and an ice cream cone on the same table? Only one will survive. Guess who? You got it!
