Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I thought I'd go ahead and ask if anyone has newts. I haven't even got my frog tank up and running yet and I'm already getting the itch for another tank...
I really think having some aquatic newts would be awesome. I've been reading up on them, but there isn't as much information/forums out there talking about them as much as their are fish. So, I thought I might get lucky and get some personal advice from someone here. I went to a pet shop that I frequent to see what newts they might have and saw that they did carry fire bellies. I'm already trying to rack my brain for a nice little set up for them. They need approx. 1/3 land to 2/3 water ratio from what I've read. I'm thinking about a 29gal that I saw at Petland recently. I got the whole set up (heater, filter, light/hood) for around $90. Gravel would be...say $15-20. Nice rocks- I don't know $30. Driftwood- $15 Plants- $20 Newt food- $10.00 Newts- 6x $6.00- $36.00
Sorry, I wanted to write it all out and see what I'm looking at and see if you all can think of anything else that would be needed that I'd have to think about before I get into this...
Advice if you have it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
