Paddle Tail
How much water should be in a fish tank for a paddle tail newt?
I know fire-bellied newts need half land and half water, but i read online that paddle tails need a fully aquatic set up. so i filled my 7 gallon tank up, and have a floating island its about 9 inches of water with and island on top is that okay?
Housing requirements:
Enclosure: A fully aquatic setup is recommended. A 20-gallon aquarium is adequate for a pair of paddle tail newts. Care should be taken to provide adequate filtration for the aquarium. Paddle tail newts can be maintained in a totally aquatic set-up, provided they have a few floating islands to allow them to occasionally climb out of the water.
Temperature: Paddle tail newts like cool water. Temperatures below 65° – 68°F are best, but they can tolerate 70° – 73°F for short periods of time.
Heat/Light: Generally, no additional heat source is needed for the aquarium since paddle tail newts prefer cooler water. No specialized lighting is required either, though a standard aquarium hood can be used to provide an eight to twelve hour photo-period.
Substrate: If substrate is used, it should fine sand or gravel that is larger than what the paddle tail newt can swallow. If too small a size of gravel is used then it could accidentally be ingested and could cause serious medical issues.
Environment: All species of paddle tail newt are adapted to life in clear, swiftly flowing streams. Paddle tail newts are typically hearty and can tolerate poor conditions for short periods of time. However, extended periods of poor conditions can cause health issues. At least one hiding spot should be provided for each newt, though additional hiding spots can help reduce fighting among tank-mates. Common items used for hiding spots can be sections of PVC pipe, standard aquarium decorations, clay flower pots, or flat rocks. A cover should be provided for the aquarium to prevent these newts from jumping out of the tank.
Diet: Paddle tail newts are avid eaters. Worms, insects, beef heart, fish, dry food pellets and frozen bloodworms are all eagerly taken. The food offered should be small enough to be easily swallowed. Larger food pieces will often be fought over. Uneaten food should be promptly removed from the tank to prevent poor water quality.
Maintenance: A partial water change of 10% – 20% is recommended weekly. Filter cartridges should be checked regularly and replaced as needed. If substrate is used, take care to clean it using a gravel washer and syphon.
