red ear turtle + red belly newt..?

Bad idea on multiple fronts. Not only will a RES (red-eared slider) try out the newts and frogs as food, it'll outgrow the confines of a 10 gal fairly quickly (carapace size to 12"). RES also require special lighting that can harm amphibians through prolonged exposure. Another problem depends on the choice of frog. Most native "green" frogs are highly carnivorous and will hunt newts and other frogs. Their chances together can be improved in a pond setting. But, a 10gal would become a sort of cage fighting arena with the losers being determined by the death count.
Won;t work for sure.. Even if the frogs and newts are too small to be easily eaten the turtle WILL tear them apart.. Plus females Red eared sliders need a MINIMUM of a 100 gallon tank, Mines outgrown a 50 and is now getting a 74'' pool,just to let you know their size..
No Newts because of this.. even baby RES's will do this..

Reasons why not to put turtles with anything you dont want eaten..
1.) Snakes
2.)Fish ( FRT's possibly an exception )
3.)Frogs WILL be eaten just couldn't fing pictures of it.
4.) FInally SIZE. Could you imagine this in a 10 gallon?

as morbid and sad as thoose pics are, they are ****in hilarious! yeah, i tried puttin newt with my turts. he started to get chased and i moved him.
Also worth pointing out that firebelly newts are toxic and
could possibly kill the turtle if eaten.
