does having the lights on the aquariam more than 12 hours bad for newts? i have a planted aquariam and i want to put Chinese fire belly's in there but since there always floating on something i'm afraid they might get too much exposure to light.

it cant hurt(as long as it dosn't heat up the tank), but longer then 12 hours is probably not a good idea

    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?
