New set up for Notophtalmus v.v.

[triton]

It's almost ready. I just need a bark oak cork to hide the filter and few more plants...

If you have any suggestions to make it better because I'm not sure if it's appropriate for Notophtalmus v.v.

Wow...It puts my N.v.v Tank to shame...I would say its appropriate...My N.v.v spends equal time in and out of the water...They really are a great species...Hope It works out for you.

Could you please tell me how you got it to look so nice? I'd like to try something better with my n. v. louisianensis.

It is still and quite simply rather fine stones that I stuck on the back wall with silicone. The joints (over the water) are then made with ground. When it's dry, it doesn't move any more.
Mosses and plants come from the end of forest which I have behind at home.
The watery plant is a "Callas Palustris" and it comes from the lake behind at home too. I should put others in a few days...
I made some clay injection in the substrate because this plant likes the clay soils rather...

Looks beautiful. It will work fine for Notophthalmus, but adults rarely use land, and when they do, they don't need as much as you have given. They can be kept totally aquatic, with the water level all the way up and thick stands of aquatic plants. When needed, they'll cimb up on top of floating plants and rest.

I do agree with Nate.
I suggest you to keep them totally aquatic, may be you could rise the water level so you keep it as beauty as it looks now.
Best greetings
