Something for a 10 gallon tank?

[AlejandroDaLotl]

I have an empty ten gallon tank and i really want to get something but in it, any suggestions?

You could look into Alpine newts. You could keep a pair in a fully aquatic 10g set up.

I like that idea.

You could also get ensatina. They are amazing and are beautiful.

And protected in many places - need to do your research (care and legal) before trying to get some.

Whatever species you go with, use a tight fitting lid. Standard aquarium lids aren't going to cut it.

A pair of alpine newts is a solid plan. They are so beautiful. Make sure you keep the water a few inches below the top of the tank and leave some floating cork for them to haul out on. Floating plants also help them hang out near the surface. Mine like to use floating plants as anchors while they rest near the surface. Although they are very aquatic (I've read that some subspecies are more terrestrial, so do your research), I wouldn't keep them in deep water. They like to surface often for air. My female will completely haul out onto a log on occasion.

I keep a trio in a 20 long. I wouldn't keep more than two in a 10 gallon.

Make sure you get a tight-fitting screen lid for your tank. They will crawl out of the smallest hole, even if it APPEARS as if they cannot reach it. They will find a way.

Good luck.

all those ideas are great but i think i might hold out and get a tokay gecko.

danube crested newts, spanish ribbed newt fire belly newt theyd all look good in a 10 gallon

Firebellies could work in a 10g if you can find them, but you'd be pushing it with Crested newts and Spanish ribbed newts are way too big, they're huge!
