My lovely trio of p. waltl

[Spookynewts]

Got these beauties over the weekend. They're in a 30 gallon filled with about twenty gallons of water. So far they seem to be doing very well and have engaged in amplexus. No tank mates other than a few hitchhiker snails!

And there tank!

Very nice riparium style tank! Everything is exactly what it should be, real wood, rocks, plants, lid, and even the sand. People leave substrate out for fear of cleaning maintenance, but having a slick bottom is now argued to stress animals that require friction to move. I root for your frog moss up there but mine never lasted . WHat is their feeding routine like?

Thanks so much! The frog moss did not make it haha, but I have a nice pothos in its place now. The aquatic plants are all doing well as well which has provided a ton of hiding spots for them.

I feed them earth worms three times a week. Usually one to two worms per newt as they're quite large. I cut the worms into smaller pieces. I've tried newt pellets but it it isn't moving, they won't eat it
