at the pet store I worked at we kept firebelly toads with our newts in a really nice setup, but we only had firebelly newts, which are small. I don't imagine the toads would eat the newts, I might be worried about a 7" newt taking a bite out or a toad. Also, I'm almost certain that the toads eat crickets exclusively, which might be inconvenient.

i heard that the fire bellytoad has an excretment (toxic)that should stop it from being kept with anything else.
sorry its just something i rread on the web dont know if its true or not
