Hi all, im looking in to getting a newt, thing is i cant decided which sort. this would be my very first newt so any advice would be great. :happy:
 
It depends on personal preference really, whether you're wanting a terrestrial or aquatic animal.
Some good aquatic species are H. cyanurus, T. dobrogicus, T. karelinii, T. cristatus, P. waltl, C. pyrrhogaster, etc.
And some good terrestrial species are Ambystoma tigrinum/mavortium sp., A. maculatum, Salamandra sp., etc.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
