I've never kept newts before (I've always been a fish person), but I'd like to get one or two chinese fire-bellied newts sometime soon. I was planning on keeping them in a 10-gallon fishtank, and using a plastic container as sort of an island in the middle. Should I fill the container with gravel, or would it be better to use dirt or sand? I was thinking of using live plants. Should I plant them directly in it or keep them in pots? What about a layer of moss or something? I've heard newts prefer this to walking on gravel. What about filters, in the water around the "island"? What kind would be best for chinese fire-bellied newts? Should I use gravel? Thanks very much in advance! I appreciate the info.
