Hello. I just "built" a new tank. I'll say it's about 4 or 6 gallons. It's a 10 gallon tank that I split 3/5 of the way. I want one side to be aquatic, the other semi aquatic like a paludarium almost. Ideally I want the semi aquatic side to be the 4 gallon, and the aquatic to be 6. I plan to put various plants on both sides. I have many planted aquariums.

Would I be able to keep a salamander in either part?

Here's a picture for reference.

Thanks.

For anything truly aquatic, you would need more water, and aquatic plants
 
Haha. Of course I'll need more water. I just wanted to see if my seals would hold. I have 3 fully planted aquariums. I'm well aware to add plants. I should have made this clearer.

Will either side be possible provided I add water / plants?

Thanks.
 
Here's one of my fully planted aquariums.

Ideally for anything that will spend a lot of time in the water you're going to want a minimum of around 10 gallons, other than that, most things you will find will be either fully aquatic or fully terrestrial, there are some exceptions but they are usually fairly large as well

    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?
