Question: Firebelly newt and a bubble wall?

[GabM]

I have a fire belly newt in a 3 gallon tank and am just wondering if putting in a bubble wall is a good idea. I read that aeration is good for newts, but will the bubbles just upset my newt?

Thanks!

With a species like orientalis, that likes the water calm, your just better off doing water changes. Especially in a small tank like that.

A 3 gallong tank is waaaaaaaay too small for a single Cynops orientalis. For a correct housing you will need at least a 10 gallon standard tank. I agree that the bubble wall is unnecessary and would probably cause stress. You can substitute filters and areators by having lots of live plants.
