I have some fish tanks with this stuff. And in 10 gallon tank I put down large clumps of it and kept it damp. Doesn’t have to be soaking wet. On top of that I placed leaves, rocks, and bark. Worked for me.
I like to leave them in water, place java moss in a plastic container with about 2 inches of water. Force them to stay aquatic,doing now with 5 newts that just morphed and i did it with the parents. I offered mom and dad no land and never have. i had mom and dad shipped to me when they were eggs.
I got 4 right now that just don't like water whatsoever. They are still young so maybe I can get them to start going aquatic, but on the bright side it's easier to feed them live food on land. Just leaving isopod/springtail culture with them to hunt and forage.
I had them aquatic for a little bit but any kind of food in the water they simply couldn't catch or didn't want.
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?
