This was quick and simple but I really like it...since they like to hide and also are used to narrow spaces from the river environment, I made them this little "condo" out of clay pot bottoms. The bottom one broke in half when I was making the doorway but I glued it back together. (I used silicone glue.)

Are the hidingplaces not too close of each other, for a agressive specie as Pachytriton?
 
I only have two in the tank (a male and female). I have a lot of hiding places in that tank, five already, and a lot of vegetation. Now I have added this little house. I had in mind that the female could pick whatever one she liked and switch out between them. It's all for her. I am hoping that maybe she'll like one of them enough to lay eggs in...they certainly put on enough of a show, those two...
 
What imagination leads us to create! lol Look at the pic I did before I got interested and opt for more realistic setups! lol

Dawn,
How is the newlywed suite working out?
 
I saw the female hanging out in the middle level one day, ran to get my camera, and by the time I got back, she had hidden. But I think she likes it! She can change her apartment like I change my socks.
 
Here she is hanging out in it as she likes to do. Notice her beau at the door. Her name is Slimy, his name is Soldier.

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
