FBN and spansish ribbed newt

[mortisia]

Hello all!!
Here is my (male) spanish ribbed newt, my (probably male) firebelly newt and their tanks:

Very nice. I like your use of containers to plant the vegetation in, allowing you to keep the overall layer of gravel in the tanks thin and thus easier to keep clean. Do you often need to clean debris out of the plant containers due to the large amount of gravel in them (ie - does newt waste and uneaten food ever build up and then settle in them)?

Thanks for the comment! Once a month I put the pots (with the gravel and the plant in it) under the tap and wash them off, but they don't have much waste in them because the tanks are large for only one newt and I also clean them often, so generally there isn't a lot of debris in the tank.

I like your use of the containers too. Looks nice, clean and easy to maintain.

Great looking tank!
