Could I see some close ups of your Fuzhongs so I can compare them to my paramesotriton. Both tanks look nice.

Thanks Leo, that plant is hygrophila corymbosa. It is very aesy, doesn't need much light and grows fast both above and in the water. The orientalis tank will be as loaded with plants as I want my tanks soon

The worst thing about heavily planted tanks are to get animals out if you need to, good thing newts aren't fast hehe.

Ben - I have some old photos around, hope they will do, they are rather bad quality though...

Looks just like my warty newts. Pete's newt seems to have intermediate features between my two others, its dark and smaller than the other two, but just as aggressive when feeding. My largest warty newt (6.5 inches) spends its mornings on land, while the rest of the it's in the water.

Actually not exactly. There seem to be about the same number of bumps as mine, except on your newts each bump is a little bigger.
