I have 2 firebellys. One female, one male. The female is larger than the male. Should either one be dominant?
The male was a jerk to the smaller female i used to have. She died though.

First thing I would do is to check out the What kind of firebelly is it page.

The Cynops species, the Chinese and Japanese firebelly newt should cohabitate quite well. The Paddletail newts are quite territorial and aggressive and should not be housed together unless the tank is large and many hides are provided.

If you have paddletails, that could explain why your male was a "jerk."

    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?
