That's a nice set-up you got going Chris. It looks like you have two healthy and great looking granulosas.
 
thanks ol' chap! i thing imma add another female to the mix.
 
Lookin' good! Do they have a place to climb out above water if they want to? Are the rocks real? They look like limestone, which is OK, but you should be aware of what effect it has on water.

Is that a HOT Magnum filter? I've always wondered if those would work for newts. How did you seal the area around the tubing and hanger?

Did you get the Tarichas recently? If not, don't forget to quarantine the newcomer.
 
1. well now they have a floating island
2. not limestone
3. no it's made by Zoo Med and it's a 501 series filter. kinda like a knock off of the more expensive canister filters.
4. it has a screen top and the holes are trimmed so they are tight around the tubing.
5. no i've had them for a couple months.

whew, i hope i got everything.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the Taricha family.

The tank looks lovely. What do you feed your Tarichas?
 
Chris, your tank DOES look cool, and nightcrawlers are the fave for my tarichas too! I was wondering if you add anything to the tank for your plants. Is that anacharis? It looks AWESOME! Mine doesn't look so hot. I give mine Leaf Zone by API but still my anacharis is slowly dwindling.

I find that hardier plants with big leaves seem to do better. Does anyone else have advice on live plants? Is there a spot on the forum for plant talk?

    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.
