Aquarium setup pictures needed!

I am so glad that I found this site!!!!My 13yr old bought 2 chinese dwarf newts(without my knowledge lol)and now she doesn't want them, so I have sole custody of them. This is all new to me so these pic's are really helpful in my quest to give these guys a good home. Zuccone...Amazing is all I have to say about your set-up!! Just have a question..what is a vivarium, and could my newts live in one? Dynasty

Joel - This site provides some web space to users, but only those that donate a certain amount of money to the site. And the user has to be able to set up a web page on their own. Check the main caudata.org page.
 
¨Mike : for this tank, I change the substrate every year (a lot of earthworms and other small organisms keep the tank clean). For the water, which represents around 1/5 of the total area, I change 1/3 of volume every week.
The maintenence of this set up is now quite easy.

Lisa : this type of set up is quite adapted to terrestrial species only or for the terrestrial phase of certain species of newts

Jen and Joel - the way bandwidth is running this month I couldn't possibly give everyone photo space. It'll have to remain as a donor/major site contributor-only facility.

The number of visitors this month is our highest ever - 1150 unique visitors yesterday. We used to be at 800 until this month.

At least we killed Kingsnake's newt and salamander forum *evil cackle*, and to think, Jeff "I own Kingsnake.com" Baringer wanted me to put the axolotl site on Kingsnake in early 2000. Heh.
 
The newly revised expanded article is now online:

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
