It should be fine as long as you give them some cover. I use lighting in my terrariums but only to keep my plants healthy, and i think it does look nice! You dont need to have it on a great deal tho.

I'm with andrew on this one. They dont need lighting, and I only use lighting on the plants. As long as they've got places to get out of the light, and the light doesnt heat the water, and you dont leave the light on 24/7, it'll be fine.

    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?
