Substrate and Water Needs: | I use gravel about half an inch deep. With 2 or so inches deep you must give them land i use 4 rocks each at different levels and shapes. |

Some Words on this Species: | They’re easy to care for, fun and well worth the small effort. I also have red spotted newts with them. |
