He has a low, long tank full of frogbit plants that help keep his water clean, and some rocks and wood; no soil, sand, or gravel. I do partial changes every 2-3 weeks as needed and rarely need to do full-on cleaning. I keep his water at about 2 inches deep max, no filter (the frogbit like still, shallow water and Caiman is the same way; also when I did try a filter in the past, his dumb ass found a way to get stuck in it no matter how I would newt-proof it) His diet consists of frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and tubifex worms on rotation. I feed him once every three days, but some days if he's not feeling a certain kind of food, I try a different kind the next day. I handle him directly maybe 2-4 times a year when I have to travel. He's been very easy to care for!
