Hi all. This is my first post, thanks everyone in advance for the help!
I am planning to get 5 newts for my 50 gallon long tank: two T. granulosa (rough skin newt), two T. torosa (CA newt), and one T. rivularis (red bellied newt).
As I have just bought my tank, I have not set it up but I plan to make a paludarium with live plants. However, I am unsure as to the ratio of land to water. I know that granulosa prefer mostly aquatic with the other two more of an even ratio? By default I was going to do a 1:1 or 1:2 land to water. I want to do my best to accommodate all 3 species. Any suggestions for this?
Also, what kind of filter should I get? Under gravel filters don't work because I have plants, hang on the backs risk newt escapes, etc. What are your suggestions and what brands/models do you suggest?
Thank you!
