Okay well I've had my fuzhong for a while now and need to see if my set up is correct or not. He is mainly aquatic and rarely goes to his "land area". I would post some pictures, but my digital camera isn't working at the moment; so if anyone could show their set ups that would be great ;)

Also I was looking at a Aquarium Systems Duetto Multi-Filter 14 GPH or a Hagen Fluval 1 Plus 52 gph, but I only have a 10 gallon tank so would the duetto work just fine or should get the fluval which is meant for aquariums up to 30 gallons?
 
For newt tanks, I would usually go down a size in filters, not up, because most newts don't like a current. In the case of a warty newt, they don't mind a bit of current. I think I would still go with the Duetto though, I just like these filters.

If you haven't found this yet:

Warty newts like to stay hidden, so I'd recommend plenty of hiding spots in the tank. My hongkongensis really loves to sit in a hollow log ornament that is near the surface of the water. He's in water, but he doesn't have to come up to breathe, and he's mostly hidden. He seems pretty contented, though lazy.
 
Okay, thanks I was thinking that the duetto would be the better choice for that size of a tank.

Yes I have read the article, but was wondering if anyone had some other pictures.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    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.
