What species is this for? Are those plants on the right artificial or just loose leaves from outside? It's hard to tell in the picture.

Looks like a good start.

I believe that species you mentioned is aquatic in adulthood. You will need some water for them to swim in too, I think. Someone else more knowledgeable want to chime in?

As efts they are terrestrial, but as adults they are aquatic. So in the future they will need an aquatic set-up. It also looks a bit dry in there. Make sure you keep the substrate moist.

    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?
