i'm not too sure about newts, but fiddler crabs need to have access to dry land (outside of water). stick something in with them that will allow them to crawl up and out of the water. without this, they'll live two weeks max. most people don't know this, but a little research on the net will yeild that and some other helpful facts. try feeding them some snails or zuccini. mine eat both most the time, snails crushed or still in shell.
