I agree with willam, while this may occure in other species, during the breeding season, I on not know wether or not the C.o attack, or ram each other. I would put the female in another container.

Chinese Firebellies are small enough that you can keep one in a food tub with a lid. You can get 3 of them for like, $3US. Or you can build a DIY tank divider. Plexiglass can be found at home improvement stores, and usually cut to specifications.

    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?
