Hey everyone. Soon I will be aquiring 5-8 Mesotriton a. apuanas(italian alpine newts) and wanted some suggestions. I currently have 3 adult triturus dobrogicus(danube crested newts) and many morphs. I have 20 gallon long aquarium and plan on getting a 50-55 gallon thats 36"long, 18" wide, and 19-24" tall. I plan on putting the M.a.a.'s in the 20 long and putting the adult dobros and 2 juvies in the 50-55 gallon. The 20 gallon has a duetto 100 filter.
Questions:

1. Would a duetto 100 filter be enough for the 50-55 gallon. I would only fill it with 8-12 inches of water.
2. Would 5-8 M.a.a. do fine in the 20 long?
3. Would 5 dobros be overkill for a 50-55 gallon?
