Hi everyone!
My 4 japanese FBNs are still too small to live in the big tank which I have ready for them. There are only plants in it and unfortunately also a huge colony of ostracods.
I've been doing more hoovering and more frequent water changes but it only seems to make them eat my plants more.
Are the newts going to be OK in the tank with these parasites? I've read everything I could find on the internet and did not come across any reference to newts. Equally, no advice on how to get rid of them except "get used to them because they're indestructible".
Thanks for your advice!
