Hi all. I have a ten gallon tank down in my basement. (my bro. keeps fish down there too. he has a several thousand gallon indoor pond, a hundred gallon salt water, a 55 gallon fresh water, and a bunch of other smaller tanks full of stuff.) I have a floresent light over my newt's tank that i turn on, but is it all right to keep him in my basement with no sunlight? I don't think my paraents will like it if i bring it upstairs.

It is fine, I think. I didnt' have my under sunlight as well. But better have a timer for your light to have a more stable light cycle.

    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?
