What snails would be good for eating brown algae? I expect they'll eventually get eaten by my newt before I'm able to get the plants installed and growing.
 
I don't know if snails would be worth it. From what I've heard, there's a possibility of introducing parasites into the tank. I've also heard that snails can produce more waste than the waste they will take out. The snails might not be good for the newts either, depending on the species.
 
I added nerite snails to my newt tank; but snails do produce a lot of waste. You also need to make sure you give them lots to eat as well :)

    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?
