Aerator use

[jake.]

Is an aerator necessary for newts? I was using one but it seemed to fright the newts. Should i have it on everyday, or is it ok to just run it once or twice a week?
Thanks.

Well, personally I would not use an aerator. If you have live plants in your tank, have a land area, use a screen top, and maintain lower temperatures your newts should be getting lots of oxygen.

Ok, I think i will take it out.

Also, I find that if your newts dont have gills, they're not as apt to need more aerated water.
