melrick1 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Moving away from tropical fish because of space, heating and filters and going for amphibians. Already have frogs and tadpoles (still looking for mare adult gold bells) and was wondering if anyone had fire bellied newts out there? There are two here at the goldfish bowl for $40 each and are very small. help would be great! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 There was someone selling eggs for chinese on that site that you can be excommunicated for even thinking about let alone mention in more than a whisper. They are not that hard as I am breeding them and have been described as having been dropped on the head as a baby sometimes. Apart from the fact that they don't like being too cold, or too hot, only eat live food and each other they are not too bad. They are even easier when morphed. However I am still not game to send them out of town until much much older. If you could get some locally they are great pets if you don't mind them hiding all day.

Dougstark Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Mine eat live food but just as happy taking ox heart or some of the bottom feeder fish food including crumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
