Ok ok I admit, I made a "beginners" mistake. I went to Pets Mart and purchased a fire belly newt without knowing anything about them - whoops! Currently the newt is in a glass 2.5 gallon tank (yes, too small) with small natural colored gravel, a little cave, a fake floating plant, and no filter. I feed the newt twice a day...newt pellets in the morning and bloodworms in the evening. Im doing 100% water changes each week. I have some questions because I have no idea what I got myself into: 1) Do newts get stressed out by 100% water changes every week? 2) I thought newts dont like water currents, is a filter mandatory? 3) Im going to buy a 10 gallon tank asap, but how many inches should the water level come up to? Right now the water is only a few inches. 4) Can newts swim in high levels of water? 5) Are newts sociable creatures? Should I buy a friend for my newt? 6) Could I also feed my newt guppy fry? My guppies are reproducing alot and was wondering if I could give a few to my newt. 7) Can you offer any personal advice on keeping newts?
