New axi home. oopsi gravel moment too! Now with nice natural sand. actually used bird sand as it has oyster shell in to harden the water! can your water be too hard?

Any further suggestions on tank greatly appreciated

Not got them yet but hopefully they will find it a nice perch. Do i need a 'house' for them? I was thinking empty jar would be big enough for now, do they need a cave?

you dont realy need a house/cave for them unless u have lights on your tank because they do not have eyelids
 
I personally have a "half-log" from Interpets Nautical Treasures line.

Spyyk adores it, as she can sit in it, on it, through it (there's a big window!) and generally act like a silly around it.

It's also a good hideyhole if they don't feel like talking to you today, or if they're scared, or if you're just cleaning up.

So IMO, I would go for some sort of "bed" - in another tank I built for a friend I used some well scrubbed drainpipe - the original occupant loved it because I added all sorts of junctions and tunnels to run through.

If you do go for drainpipe, be sure to clean it really, really well - the plastic is often treated with anti-mold solutions.
 
cheers! just got Yang today, that is what i will call her, planning to get her a friend once my store gets wild types in stock

    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.
