Hi,

This is my 112 L aquatic setup, for 5 juvenile Neurergus kaiseri with a 440 L waterfilter and a UV beamer.
I think the setup is easy to clean, what do you think about the setup?

I think it's excellent! Is the bottom of the tank made of rock?

It looks very heavy.

Is this tank setup good for anything other than cleaning (in your opinion)? If you could give a full breakdown of what materials are used and why you feel this is a beneficial setup; I believe many people may benefit from it.

Thanks for sharing!

hi,

the ground of the tank is out of two stone plate´s. the fugue (i hope thats the right word:D) are 1cm an filled up with sand. the picture is a litle bit bad so you can´t see the hole setup. but i will post some today. the land part isnt big i will show you on the pics soon. but the pets are mostly in water and very rare on land.

AW: My Neurergus kaiseri setup

Hi,


I want to have a setup who´s good to clean but also nice to view, for me and the newts. ;)
I bought 30kg of yellow sandstone (the had only yellow and red) it was really cheap for 9€ at a specialized dealer for stones and tiles. Also the 2 rockplates, the cost 20€ including the cutting into the right size. There is also a root in the tank with some very nice holes below them. But they are not shy, so they don’t use it. I have only 1 plant in the whole tank and this is a java moss. The land part isn’t big but when they need a bigger then they will get one. In time the use it not often. I have no extra light, only the light from the window in my basement and the normal light, who´s only on, when I have a look.

I think that’s all, when you have some questions ore tips for me please write me.

Sorry for the bad English :D

simon

    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?
