Hi,
This is my very first Aquatic/terrestrial tank and im pretty new to keeping newts. I kept a Paddle tail newt in a fully aquatic tank years ago but thats about it.
The tank is a 80L tank and iv only half filled it to create little islands using driftwood.
The tank has very small pump and a sponge filter which i cycled for 3 months in my other fishtank.
I managed to put a spider plant in the corner by filling a glass with soil and hiding it behind the driftwood. At the moment i have a few floating plants (Frogbit and duckweed) and Java moss in there. I eventually want to add some Anubias too.
Could you maybe give some suggestions of newts/salamanders that would be ideal for this setup? Idealy ones that prefer to have both land and water. I know some Newts tend to be fully aquatic once the conditions are nice.
Thanks for any help!!!
Here is a pic of the tank, its far from finished... Im going to eventually add sand substrate.
