well i set it up. i kinda wasnt the smartest about it because i didnt have any place to put there old crappy 5 gallon so what i did was i filled it with water from my dads 20 and added a bit of new water(dechlorinated) and then i took the sponge from my aquaclear on my 10 gallon and rinsedit out in the newt tank to put as much beneficial bacteria in as possible. so i had no way i cud keep the newts in the 5 gallon for a while, so i let the tank run for a few hours and then put the newts on there litle styofoam island i made and then let them aclimate themselves. i saw one newt go into the water and it made me so happy to see him swimming in a bigger tank. and just so i can tell u how bad the 5 gallon was, i would much rather put them in an uncycled tank then leave them in there. thats y i got this tank ASAP. o, and for fish,. i might put the 2 white clouds from my other 10 in there tank and maybe put 2 or 3 more in. sorry for the long post
