Some of my tanks (photos)

Here are some of my tanks. The first is for two Paramesotriton hongkongensis and the second is for a Hynobius dunni. Comments are welcome.

Hey nice tanks, are any of those live plants? it's a little hard to tell. I have always thought H. Dunni sounded like an awesome salamander to keep. how hard a species would you say it is?

Tanks look fine, but two suggestions. One is to put in a platform to give the hongkongensis a place they can climb up on if they want to. Mine always hangs out on the platform, which has shallow water and a hide on top of it. Two, it would be nice if the dunni had more water. And to avoid having the water stagnate under the gravel, maybe you could rig up the filter to spout the water onto the gravel (a tube to the opposite corner of the tank).

Hey thanks for the responses guys.

I really like the little dunni. I found that that they are pretty simple to keep and quite hardy.

The hongkongensis has a floating cork island should it have more? Perhaps a bigger island?

The H. dunni is still young. I have never seen it actually go in the water it just spends its time under one of the hide spots. Should the water be deeper or just more vast?
