yarimochi Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I've just looked at some books on the fire bellied newt and they're soo cool! Does anyone here know about these creatures?? It'd be really cool if someone could post some pics of their newt set-up or something. HOw much are the newts? $50? And what pet shop can you get them from?? Do the adults need any land? and if so what could I provide if 75% of the tank would be filled with water? What would their favourtie food be and how many litres would you need for two? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insect Direct Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/3-vt16 ... c&start=30 theres a picture of my newt setup on page 4 i think, is overkill i think so maybe selling it soon (without the newts) would be ok for newts or frogs i suppose, theres was another thread with peoples newt setup pics but cant find it, search them on this site and you might find tht and some other info.pics etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I used to keep mine in a nice big cube tank, with a big slate wall built up, with the whole back half stones and substrate and the odd rock for them to sit up on, and the front a water area with a piece of mangrove root (wood) coming up out of the water up the wall so they used it as a climbing area to get out, looked really natural, I had Japanese Rush growing in clumps out of the substrate and the newts love climbing up it and sitting amongst the leaves... wish i had taken a pic of the set up, sadly I never did tho :-? One of those things you kick yourself for later :roll: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
