I need a critter for my paludarium.

Ok - I figured out the newts need colder water and I've since moved them to the 29 gallon since when the temps are right they are fully aquatic...

That leaves my 20L empty. It's half land and half water with the deepest water at just over 3ish inches. The land is a mix between dry stones (basking areas) and moist to saturated soil that I'm in the process of planting heavily. The temp stays between 74 and 80 degrees with no heater. I'll be putting a fogger in there too to add humidity, I don't think it'll raise the temp more than a degree or two.

I was thinking maybe some fire belly toads or some fancy crabs... Do you all have any suggestions? I don't really want to deal with live foods, but I could be persuaded if the critter is really cool. I'm excited to see your suggestions!

    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.
