Default Can I mix Green Anoles with a Fire belly toad?

I just bought 2 Fire Belly toads yesterday and some goldfish. I have a 29 Gallon tank. I have plenty of rocks in there, aquatic plants etc. About 4 inches of water, but I was SO interested in these Green Anoles while at the petstore. So I am just wondering if I can mix the two? Ive some say YES some say NO. Also I have 2 turtles, dont know the exact species BUT they're sooo small like 4 inches big, do you think I can put them in there as well?

No. The fire belly toads are toxic. They secrete a toxin that will kill the anoles if they ingest it (say, if the toad gets into the water).































Really it's not good to mix any species without a lot of experience, but fire belly toads and newt are especially dangerous.































The turtle will eat both the anoles and the toads when they are big enough, and the toads would poison them.































Besides which, they all come from different parts of the world, which means they need different care.































Each animal needs to have it's own enclosure with the exception of the two toads. You should not mix the same species if you don't have to, much less three different ones.































Oh, and each of those turtles will grow to the size of dinner plates with proper care. Start planning a BIG enclosure each.
