Newbie (alpine newts)

[MnGuy]

Hey All,

I bought a trio of alpine newts recently. It's been more than 20 years since I kept amphibians. (I'm mainly a fish guy.) I had an eastern newt as a kid. Glad to be here.

Here is my setup (I do plan to add a lot of aquatic plants soon):

Thank you! They are quite beautiful. I would love to keep easterns again if I could find captive bred ones. There's something about them.

Hi there and welcome. :happy:

I hope that we will get to see lots of pictures of your newts as they grow up.

Added a bunch of new plants and 12 White Cloud Mountain minnows.

I can't post multiple pictures in one post. Don't know why.

We've had our Alpines for a year now. Looking to add another type they are so enjoyable. Like you, I've always kept fish, but I really enjoy having these.
