    Congratulations on the new addition. Julian looks nice and plump. Very nice looking tank as well. Can't wait to see some more of him!

    Thanks, Jace

    He may seem plump in the video, but that's because we play a game first....

    The rules of the game are largely dictated by Julian, and generally involve him only gorging out on a worm when my camcorder is at more than arm's reach.

    If he even thinks he can spy my camera, he waits until the 'low battery' light comes on before he performs 'centre-stage'.

    Most of the shots are 'after-dinner' shots, so please let me apologize on his behalf for his 'portly' appearance........

    These are great newts and easy to care for. I've had a small group for years now.

    Julian is so cute!! Is he always so active? I had two Paddle tail newts a few years ago and they seemed to mostly rest on the bottom unless it was feeding time. Of course, after seeing your tank, they might have been protesting their living conditions as they were obviously not housed in your Newt Hilton!! Thanks for sharing the video-he is a very handsome newt!

    Thanks again!

    He's not normally so active.....I was quite lucky to get three or four minutes of him swimming about in view, all in one 'take'.....(although it loses some smoothness somehow when the video is uploaded, which is unfortunate)

    The (24"x12x12) "Hilton" was originally intended for Xenopus laevis...... but as the opportunity of housing a newt came up before that of a clawed frog, I couldn't resist
    I've added a three small Amazon Frog-bit plants (Limnobium laevigatum,I believe) to the tank this evening (since the video). I'm currently reading 'Ecology of the planted aquarium' by Diana Walstad which has got me thinking about future set-ups.

    Ideally, I'd like to introduce another P waltl to the tank, as there'd be room, and Julian might like the the company.
    However, I'm half expecting some eggs in the springtime, which will be from Julian's parents..........so who knows what the future holds!

    Anyway, the first video was an introduction, the second one was he/she "doing it's thing", and the third will be more of a 'newt-eats-worm' scenario

    Thanks again
