Would really like to improve their tank but here it is as current.


Just interested in your opinions really.
Thanks

Pretty sweet crib! The only thing you might consider is adding some plants of varying height, and adding a small hide. Otherwise I think it's an awesome tank.
 
I don't see any island. Does your newt have somewhere to come out of water if it wants to, like a little piece of floating cork bark or something similar?

As Kaysie says, some plants closer to the surface would be nice.
 
Hey thanks for the response! Good to know somebody thinks it's cool :)

As for hides however, there is like an abyss behind the driftwood with the moss (I think) on it which is heavily vegetated above. I know that's where they like to hide :p

Also I used to have the wood breaking the surface but after observation, they never left the water at all so I raised the water level and they don't seem to have a problem, but the taller plants sounds like a good idea.

Thanks!

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
