68-70F is best temperature. you may want a filter. i would use a whisper micro/10i(same thing just different names) internal filter. i have used this filter with axolotls, a type of salamander, and it did not cause too much current or suction and still did a really good job. these guys, as with most amphibians are nocturnal and would therefore not be exposed to full spectrum lighting in the wild and is safe to assume would not be required for captivity. if you have live plants thats fine, the UV shouldnt hurt them at all, its just not required. you might want to make sure they have adequate hiding spaces in the water as well as on land, the more the better.small pots for potting plants either whole or broken in half would be good. so would plastic products made for hides in fish tanks. less attractive looking would be pvc pipe, narrow and cut down to about 4". clean the water and you should be fine.
