well i bought 3 alleged fbn but after looking on this site im now thinking that they could be warty newts.i'd only had them for 2 days when we found one dead in the morning.when we looked him over to see what was wrong he had what looked like sores under his chin and on his neck.then 2 days after that we found the other one dead and he had the same symptoms.luckily the third one is eating well and after checking he has no marks on him.i've also got 7 redclawed crabs,a raindow crab called lord claude a tank full of varios fish,some cherax quads(crayfish) ,two birds and a cat called nippy.what species are you interested in.:D

I hope you're not keeping your newt in with the other animals!

I keep mostly ambystomatid species.

The newts probably died through no fault of your own. Many times, these animals are newly imported and are quite sick with parasites and stress from shipping. We call this 'pet shop syndrome'. I wouldn't beat yourself up over it.

    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?
