"For fire-bellies, the best setup after metamorphosis is a very shallow aquatic tank with a large island area."-Caudata.org
Hi, all!
I'm confused about the set up for the larvae that I have. Some places have suggested that soil is the way to go, while others are saying that a shallow tank with an island is sufficient. I am planning on setting up the tank with about an inch of water to start, some plants ( hopefully live), and a couple of big rocks. Does this sound about right? Is soil necessary? For feeding, should the larvae want to stay on the rocks most of the time, can I keep a small dish of live blackworms in a bit of water on the rock?
I'm so worried about doing the wrong thing! Thanks again for all the help!
