Paddletail Newt tank setup?

[XDragonGrlX]

Ive had other newts before but never paddletail newts. I picked up one paddletail from a guy off craigslist giving the little guy away for free. I have a 5 gallon tank eith fake plants and sand. Id like some advice for letting it up better for him/her. Maybe some pictures of setups I could go by?

Paddletails aren't my strong point, but I would say he will need more than five gallons. Some Pachtriton can get very large when fully grown and are quite greedy so produce a lot of waste. Decoration wise, the best Pachytriton tanks I've seen are laid out like a stream bed with rock structures and caves. As they are stream dwellers in nature you could use an internal power filter to produce moderate currents around the rocks.
