Newts!

[Ruby]

Just got 2 Chinese fire-belly newts from my reptile shop. I think they're juveniles because they're really small. I'll upload pictures of them/their setup in the next few weeks. They just had their first meal of bloodworms since moving in. Their names are Fred and George, LOL.

Can't wait for pics!

I think I'll just let them settle down a bit before I take any

20 gallon long with a light(for the live java fern at the front) and a little waterfall filter. The fat newt is Fred, the smaller one is George.

How cool!
I've always wanted to make something like that, but I don't like having large amount of water in a tank, especially if the inhabitants poop a lot. I also hate filters, im too lazy to change it out and everything.
You should get more live plants, it makes it much cooler, haha.

I plan on adding lots of live plants, like maybe some sword plants, or some floating plants that I can pick up in pond season.

Very nice! I've also noticed it's not a good season for finding live plants (for my terrariums). Can't wait till spring!

I like the set up, Glad you finally got your newts

 

[Ruby]

Thanks!

Wow they're cute! Love the names, lol!

 

[Ruby]

Yeah, Harry Potter.

Newts are the best. I like their setup! Good job!

 

[Ruby]

Thanks, I removed the gold fish bowl because I'm dedicating one side to live plants that I'm getting today. I also added a little Terracotta feeding dish at the bottom of the tank.

Make sure the terracotta dish doesn't dye the water, some cheap ones turn the water yellow.

I've had another Terracotta piece in there, so I don't think it is. I picked up a mini sword plant, and in pond season I'll add some floating plants. I'm not sure, but one of the newts may be pregnant!

Fred, the chubbier one in the picture.
