Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Daniel Ogrizek , his profile name is Daniel, has some great Kaiser newts that are pretty cool . I believe he breeds some other newts as well . Kaiser newts are mostly aquatic.

Adult Eastern newts will work well too in a planted aquarium. Plants such as anubias, cryptocorne, java fern, java moss, and anacharis/elodea are all fairly easy to maintain. Seachem and Fluval make really good substrates. The anubias plants and java fern grow much better when attached to driftwood as opposed to be planted in substrate. Also there's also the option to have no substrate at all and maintain the plants in pots or deal with only the ones that grow on driftwood.

Amphib, do make sure you can provide low enough temps for the species you choose, and keep in mind that a planted viv will run a couple degrees higher than ambient during the time the lights are on (yes, even with LEDs) especially if you're fighting low humidity by restricting ventilation.

Hey AmphibGuy!
I see you're from Victoria. I live in Corpus Christi, a few hours away from you! I have some Spanish ribbed newts (Pleurodeles watl), lesser sirens (Siren intermedia), and axolotls currently. I will also have some Eastern newts next month! Let me know if you need help with getting your tank ready or if you're interested in any of these species.

Any aquatic plant, or semi aquatic plant will work great for newts, atleast newts that are getting towards a water life that is. When dealing with the small babys that lose there gills and want to climb up on land for about a yr in there eft stage, would be wise to build a half land half water(50/50) paladarium setup. The difference between a vivarium and paladarium is that the paladarium holds water. With out plants you would have to do alot of water changes to remove the nitrates. Dont be bashful to stock the hell out of your set up with plants, also gives them a place to hide. Some newts can skip the land stage completely and go straight to the aquatic life like eastern newts. Im unsure about other varietys having that capability.
