looking great lol the flourescent gravel isnt that bad lmao. ive seen worse, much worse!

cheers

got a few more comments and observations.

first off, as some may have noticed, i have upped the water change %. i'm now at 80% weekly. got an algae problem, but the changes keep the tank clear.

bin watching the guys feed. there does, as i have said, seem to be a first come first served system. if pushed though the biggest newt can shift the others, but it does not happen much. newts will happily chomp on a large lump of food, but if a small bit floats by, they tend to strike at it. revealing their true predatory nature.

three cheers!!! i saw one of them beginning to moult!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the little guy coils itself up and then spins on its nose, falling from side to side. it seems it was trying to break the old skin. however it seems to be a lengthy processes, as after 10 minutes all that had happened was the skin had split, just above each front arm pit. ( it shows as small white patches) the spinning seems to be only part of the system, as they seem to stretch and bend into the strangest of shapes. i thought the little guy was having a fit at first.
