A few quick questions, most about Notos.

Azhael.. what else is there?!? I thought brine shrimp were the best for carotenes..?

One more question :happy: after I put sand in my tank how long till I can put my newts in? It's been about 24 hours so is it okay for me to do now? I switched from bare bottom to sand so I could get live plants (amazon swords, anarchis/elodea, and java fern) Thanks

Gammarids are simply superb for obtaining a rich red coloration.
Artemia is not bad, but it probably requires using it as an staple for a while.

Then, you also have the commercial powders, of course.

Once the sand has settled properly, which if you rinsed it well should only take a few hours, you can introduce the animals.
