Well on the water it just really depends on how big your WD is...you don’t want a lot of water in there for a little guy........About the fish some WD’s will eat fish and some won’t...Mine don’t eat them..I have gold fish in my pond and they have never tried to eat them......

As long as it’s not so deep that your dragon can’t rest with it’s head above water you’ll be fine.

And some will eat fish, some won’t. When I first put fish in with mine she’d try to get them, but was just attacking the surface of the water when the fish were down at the bottom. Now she doesn’t even bother with them anymore.

if they dont eat the fish what do you do just leave the fish in there if so can you feed the fish what they normally eat without the food harming the dragon????

Or you can put a deep tank, and make like a submerged plataform where your WD can lay down and keep the head outside, something around 4" X 6" looks great.

The pools from my WDs have a deep area, where they swim, and when they want to lay down for some rest, or "scratch" when shedding. In the deeper part Moleca can barely put her back feet on the floor.
