N. crocatus Enclosure

[Iridophore]

Hello everyone. I thought I'd share the process of an enclosure I'm working on for my Lake Urmia Newts.
So far I only have the tank and light. I'm planning on getting some sand and rocks this weekend.

So

Nice, keep us updated on the progress of your newt enclosure!!

If you are planning a planted tank, I suggest aquatic soil for a substrate.

I would not use aqua soil with this species..your KH will drop to zero.

Thanks for the advice! Should be getting my filter here tomorrow

would ferns (eg maidenhair fern) be safe for this species?
Also can you keep guppies with them?
