The orange colour is not diagnostic of species. Look at the pictures.

I have at least half a dozen newts in the bottom of the pond ( the
water is clearing now and I can see them.Â* OK so I am guilty as
charged of upsetting their home.Â* I need to re build it.Â* I dont know
what sort they are. According to YouTube it doesn't matter really as
in this country they are all protected .

So, I have to get some plants pretty fast.

Can aquatic plants be bought online and sent to your house?Â* Not sure
where to go otherwise. No such places near me.


Got anybody with a pond nearby who would be happy for you to have a few
plants?

With regard to the protection of newts, Smooth and Palmate are protected
against trade and sale only. Great Crested are fully protected. See
