I'm planning to create some more tanks in my room (new space has come
) and i want to create something new for my hongkongensis female and male who i want to give her in future. My idea is to create a stream-type shallow water tank for these newts (as i saw biotope pictures on this forum, also streams in polish mountains and Mark's tank for Calotriton asper, i got inspired) and i want to ask you, what do you think about this.
Water level would be nearly 10 cm, as hongkongensis don't look like they love swimming for air, also my female most of her time spends waiting near water surface, so newts won't need to do so. Substrate will be made mainly from flat rocks and in some places - gravel. In back half of tank surface there will be some cave made of rocks and filter-pump in, pumping the water to the small cascade (above the cave) where would be small hydroponic filter and some ferns and mosses. I can also install additional aeration to the tank.
It will be 60x30 tank for two hongkongs (yeah, only). Is it a good project?
