As a little kid these were always my favorite type of newt. Now that i am more experience, i am interested in keeping granulosa, but im not sure on the specifics of keeping them. Such as: water depth, temps, water/land ratio, and if they are difficult to breed or not? Thanks for all of your help.

These are some of the easiest newts to keep. A good water depth is around six inches. As for land just some place to climb out in case they need it, though you may never see them use it. Finally they are very temp. tolerant, but below 75F is recommend and the safest

    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?
