Ah one of my pics didn't get on the post correctly and I don't know how to fix it >_> hope this works. I also wrote little descriptions that didn't show up...oh well. What do you guys think of my newts ^___^

Welcome, Helen. Nice newts

Be sure to read our FAQ, if you haven't already:

Cute newts, Helen

Do you have a secure lid on the tank with no spaces at all through which the newts can escape?

By the way, if you're using polished rocks as substrate, be aware that uneaten food and other waste can accumulate under the rocks and turn your water quality lethal if you're not careful -- especially if the water has not been cycled to begin with. Do you have a feeding area without rocks?

Hope you're enjoying them!

The bath toy in the tank is just cute. Hee!

Thanks for the comments ^_^ Here's another random picture...I had to take out the bigger newt because he kept biting the small one ;_;

Tim- I do have a tight lid for the tank, and I did stop using rocks soon after that pic....so much easier to maintain now.

Good move on removing the rocks. I had to do that too.

And for fun, did you know there is a species of salamander called a fire salamander?
