Sajjad,
I can provide you the air pump and sponge filter.
I, however, would not suggest mixing crayfish and newts in the same
aquarium, unless you want to teach the children about predator-prey
relationships.

Sajjad, I have flake food and freeze-dried shrimp for the project. Perhaps we can collect some critters on Sept 16? I'm still trying to get a hold of the guy who's familiar with the Kankakee River. We could probably find plenty in the tributaries and backwaters.
