I just bought a Spanish newt, my tank set up is fairly basic, fully submerged filter, almost half full of water, and a floating newt dock of a decent size. I've had the newt for 3 days but it's very small and it seems to be struggling to get to the top and I haven't seen it using the dock yet.
I'm planning on adding a slanted rock to give it a surface to climb on to and up to the dock. I found a solid piece of old concrete with large rocks embedded in it near my building, which I boiled for half an hour to get rid of all the bacteria and then thoroughly washed.
Is this ok to use? It seems to have some dirt particles still on it after extensive washing and boiling but I figure that's because it's concrete... apologies if this question is stupid.
