Good Plants for newts vivariums(many pics)

[End]

After using fake plants for a short time I decided to try with the live ones , they are beautiful to see , growning really well , and most important my newts seems to love them.
The species that i have are:
Anubias Barteri nana
Cryptocoryne Parva and C. Wendtii
Hygrophila Polysperma and H.Corymbosa siamensis
Lilaeopsis Braziliensis
Java moss attached to the wood.
Obviously i do not use fertilizers or special lights, just natural sun light.

if you have positive experiences with other plants please tell me the name of the species or post some pics here.

Your plant look nice. Be careful however because sunlight can quickly heat up an enclosure, even when the room itself seems to be at a comfortable temperature.

Thanks
The temperature rises a few degrees, for example in the morning usually the temperature in my vivariums is 16 celsius (60f) after a few hours of sunlight reaches 18/20 celsius(68f) maximum. I can do this because now is cold here , in summer this could be a problem

I agree, direct sun should always be avoided.

My personal favourites as far as plants go are Elodea, Microsorium and Java moss.

Bear in mind: the aroids you are showing are tropical plants, not temperate or sub-tropical like many newts. This means that, long term, these plants appreciate some heat: Water 73-84F That is not a misprint. Anubias (west Africa) and Cryptocorynes (S and SE Asia) like warm water.

If you have Cynops, I would suggest Java moss, Java fern and maybe Hygrophila or Rotala as better bets; If you have European Triturus, try Lysimachia; American Notophthalmus, try Bacopa, Ludwigia and dwarf Sagittaria. And Hornwort does seem to work with everything!

For Cryptocorynes, about the only newts I can see with them are:

Tylototriton verrucosus
Cynops ensicauda
Pachytriton breviceps (do tolerate some warmth)
