I've been keeping my 5 newts for about 3 weeks now. I originally started the tank with 2 pieces of floating wood that 2 newts would spend nearly all their time on, and the others would visit on occasion. Eventually the wood got waterlogged and began to sink. I angled one so that it would stick out of the water, but it seemed only one newt would use this dry patch. Over the last week, she stopped using it completely and would sometimes just climb partly out of the water on some of my live plants that reached the surface. I've removed the wood since then.
Will the newts be alright in a nearly completely aquatic environment? There are still some plants that they can use to rest with about half of their bodies out of the water (though they havent done this for sometime). Or should I provide a floating island? (Cork bark and moss)
