I have a dataset containing Newt presence - absence variable ( 0 - 1 ) , fish ( which are the newt main predator )

I have a dataset containing Newt presence-absence variable (0-1), fish (which are the newt main predator) presence-absence variable (0-1), and a list of continuous variables such as many compounds and elements (compounds known to lead to eutrophication, some ions, some heavy-metals), and some categorical variables such as water clarity, conductivity, alkalinity.
The study aims to understand which of these variables is considered a pollutant, if the pollutant affect the newt's presence in these ponds and if the fish presence impacts the newt's presence. I found correlation between a lot of these variables. so did a PCA to decrease multicollinearity. And with a glm I found that the next variables are linked to pollution in ponds that affect negatively the newt's presence negatively : alkalinity, water clarity class, NPOC, As, Cu, Cd, Be, BrO3.
The final question is : "Is a negative effect of fish on newt occurrence stronger in polluted ponds than in less polluted ponds?" i used a Mixed model (GLMER). do you think it's the best model for this questiin? could you give me the exact code? with this model i found out that it has no singificance. however I have a problem: i want to do a scatterplot where on the X axis i put waterclarity gradient, and on the plot we see the points corresponding to the Fish presence and others corresponding to the newt's presence (using 2 different colors to differentiate the 2 variables). on this scatter plot i would like to draw a line of best fit for each of the 2 variables, the fish presence and the newt presence. could you help me with the code to do this scatterplot. i also question if i should trasform my presence-absence data (newt and fish), or standardize it to do this scatterplot?
