o.k. I saw some red belly newts and i realy like them, i got an aquarium to keep them in and all tht.

But i wana know wut they exactly eat (so far all i know is frozen and freeze dried foods).

Are they cold water or do they need some sort of heating?

And are they labrinths? or do they breathe oxygen from the water?

And any other things u can tell me would be great.

Lilypad/other floating surface
large smooth gravel that they can easily move but not eat
70-80 degree water (F)
Brine shrimp and "newt pellets"
and they can be handled
