A plan from the breeding guide and an adult size of 10 cm. Tank shape is a standard 2 : 1 : 1.2 box, at least 6 adult lengths long. Check each step in the guide above.
A rack of breeding and grow-out tanks.
The breeding guide gives no tank size for the smooth newt yet, so a business layout can't be drawn.
Breeding males have a continuous wavy crest along back and tail, large round dark spots, an orange stripe under the tail and a swollen dark cloaca; females are drab with small spots and no crest.
Typical for frogs, newts and turtles
