Though it's not for Cyanurus anymore, here's some bad pictures of the completed tank. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1421344005.596565.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1421344023.715979.jpg

Lol! I thought it looked to good to be true!
I might get one, the bugs that are eating my real plants won't know what to do with one of those! :D

Removed the piece of cork bark to use for a different tank and got a turtle dock instead, and added some of that gel-packaged snail free dwarf hair grass, after I rinsed off the gel of course. Ill probably have some pictures of the tank and its inhabitants when I get them, so around Wednesday.

I really like thickly planted setups. It looks great! Can't wait to see photos of the new inhabitants in there.

So thanks to the US Postal Service being complete idiots, I don't have the animals yet but will hopefully have them tomorrow.

I actually prefer turtle docks to cork, they take up much less space above the waterline so you can get more water in the tank and still have room for the newts to emerge and rest.

I'll probably post some more in the Photo Gallery section once they settle down a bit, and a lot of them still have bubbles on them from being on land for a few days, so hyped to be raising these guys though.

Okay, I will keep an eye out for the pictures there then.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
