I need a critter for my paludarium.

Ok - I figured out the newts need colder water and I've since moved them to the 29 gallon since when the temps are right they are fully aquatic...

That leaves my 20L empty. It's half land and half water with the deepest water at just over 3ish inches. The land is a mix between dry stones (basking areas) and moist to saturated soil that I'm in the process of planting heavily. The temp stays between 74 and 80 degrees with no heater. I'll be putting a fogger in there too to add humidity, I don't think it'll raise the temp more than a degree or two.

I was thinking maybe some fire belly toads or some fancy crabs... Do you all have any suggestions? I don't really want to deal with live foods, but I could be persuaded if the critter is really cool. I'm excited to see your suggestions!

    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?
