    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey guys!

I am getting a Chinese fire belly newt! (Cynops orientalis) eft. I know they live primarily terrestrial thought most of their juvenile life so I was wondering if anyone knew any other pointers for setting up their tank. I wanted to have maybe two or three inches of water on 1/4 of the tank but am now maybe thinking that may be too much?!

I have a ten gallon aquarium and will be getting two newts.

Also, which live plant species would be best to put in the tank?
And what should I feed them as efts? I have frozen bloodworms and frozen brine shrimp already but I would like to give them a live option like a worm or something.


Thank you!!
