Is it a good idea to have a densely planted tank with a sand bottom without a filter out should I stick with a filter I was thinking a 20 gal long for 2 pairs of alpine newts also should I go with a larger tank?
 
I prefer to have lots of plants in my tanks, some are sand bottomed and others are Walstad style tanks. I don't have filters now in any of them. I would say tank size wise it could be ok for two pairs... If you can go bigger do so :) Make sure the tank has a really close fitting lid as newts are rather good at scaling glass and escaping through the tiniest of spaces.

    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?
