If you want to keep some of these Mexican newts, please mind this if you want to keep them happy and healthy: never keep them alone (but no fish, except of eg guppies, others will hurt the lotls badly), buy a tank of at least 160 ltrs for max. 4 animals, many plants, make sure the temperature will never increase 23 °C (best is 16-20 °C,no heaters!), don´t use gravel of more than 3 millimeters in diameter (they can die of obstipation)and don´t add any chemicals for water treatment or fish medicine (can cause bad damage to the organs) if your water is good enough! If they get a skin fungus, what sometimes happens, treat them with black tea and mild iodine-free (!)salt water. If you are not sure, please visit a doctor who is familiar with amphibians. They deserve a good treatment, please don´t keep them just to impress friends...
