Neurergus crocatus set up

I recently got a group of 6 Neurergus crocatus from Jennewt. Since there aren't a lot of pictures of them on the board I figured I'd share some and get feedback on my set up. I did a lot of research on the genus in general and crocatus specifically before diving in. After looking at photos of their habitat in the wild and other's tanks I decided to try and replicate a slow section of a stream.

Their tank is a 20 gallon long, a small current is provided by a submersible fluval filter. The light is a Marineland LED strip light. The majority of the bottom is covered with stacked slate tiles with a small patch of sand about a half centimeter deep in the front left. Hides were made with flat river rocks and a piece of moss covered root wood. Water depth is maybe 10", temperature is at 66F and will get down to the low 50s in the winter.

I have been feeding them frozen bloodworms and pieces of small earthworms. They are great feeders and very active. They have quickly become one of my favorites to watch as they navigate the current and crawl amongst the rocks. I am new to Neurergus so any feedback about my approach to their care is much appreciated.

Love the setup! Im am currently working on a 20g long too for my Neurergus kaiseri and going for the similar setup with slate, sand, and a some drift wood. I was curious what kind of sand you are using?

Beautiful setup. They are absolutely darling!

The sand is just standard pool filter/ aquarium sand. I toyed around with the idea of cutting the tiles to fit the tank bottom and sealing them but without a tile saw it was a bit difficult.

That is a simple but elegant and beautiful tank. Very nice.
The newts looks very healthy aswell, Jenn does a good job.

Lovely! The species I keep are dependent on dense plant growth to a lesser or greater degree so I don't get to play with rocks very much. Your tank looks just as peaceful as any planted set up.

Btw, an Angle grinder will cut tiles at a push.
