I'm thinking about making some sort of half water, half land tank with some small cichlids such as shell dwellers or convicts in the water. Something that'll have fry present almost constantly.

Anyway, because of this, choosing a (at least partially) land dwelling tank mate difficult because I don't want the two species to attack/harm each other.

Any suggestions? The tank is ~110 gal
 
I would go with a chondro python or tree boa of some sort. Then as long as you have plenty of branches, you would not need to worry about a land section. They will not mess with the fish and produce comparatively small amount of waste unlike lizards and turtles.

Too big, they get like 6-7 feet long... I'm looking for something smaller.

My original thoughts were a couple scorpions but wanted to see if there was something else i could get. but preferably not snakes because they get too big, and they are escape artists...
 
Both the species I mentioned would be more than fine in half of a 110 gallon tank. If you don't want snakes then it pretty much limits you to frogs. I would go with red eye tree frogs, whites tree frogs, dart frogs (if you give them more land area as well as stuff to climb on and only have small fish like killifish or gambusia). Look into those.

No scorpion would do well in a pauldarium, they could drown in water bowls so a tank filled with water would not end well.
 
not sure about all species of newts, but i know some secrete toxins... such as the fire belly newt i think its called?
