So, I have 3 Eastern newts that live together and have bred in the past. They were living in the pictured gravel bottom tank with some guppies and snails.
I was moving them to a different setup without fish and hoping that they would give me some more eggs with the upcoming warm weather.

I was then taking apart their old tank to use for some different fish when I found some baby newts.

It looks like they have laid 2 clutches of eggs without my noticing! 😭
I found both of these baby newts today.

Can anyone think of a way to check the gravel in the bottom of the tank for more tiny babies without hurting them?
 
Remove all decorations. Wait for the disturbed mulm to settle so you can see. Then wave a net around just above the substrate and look for movement as they get scared and run away.
