I would not do so

Fire bellied salamanders are fire bellied because they have poison in their skin. Therefore a predator will be wanred not to eat them - or die from this poison, it is rather toxic.

Your loaches might nibble the salamanders skin, and either eat something they better didn't or release it into the water. Both can be fatal
