Breeding season for the firebelly newts is springtime. Newts in captivity will sometimes be a bit mixed up and lay eggs at other times of the year, but most reproduction takes place in spring. To breed, they need to be consistently well-fed and have a cold period during the wintertime. Your avatar photo shows a shallow-water setup, is that where they live?

    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?
