I don't know the exact dimensions, but assuming a rectangular prism, would a 10 gallon aquarium be large enough for a single young axolotl?
 
A standard 10 gallon would be suitable for a young axolotl, but i would certainly not keep an adult in it.
 
Yeah, I already had this tank and didn't want to buy another one right now if I didn't have to. I will at a later date. Do you think a tank switch to a larger one after it's grown a little is too stressful for an axolotl?
 
No, a lot of people have certain tanks for juveniles and then switch them to a larger tank once they have grown a bit.
 
Cool. Thanks for the info.
 
i would say 10 gallons would work for an adult, if it's a long, wide tank as opposed to a tall, slender one. they like to walk around on the bottom.

    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?
