Hi, I am already the proud owner of 4 beautiful Axolotl, and was looking at some new ones today, toying with the idea of a 2nd tank. Whilst in the shop, I espied a sharp ribbed newt. He was very sweet. Can anyone tell me if they are as easy to look after as Axolotl? Can they be kept with Axolotl, or would he need to be kept separately? Cheers guys! :happy:
 
Sharp-ribbed newts, or spanish ribbed newts, Pleurodeles waltl, have very similar care to axolotls.

It's never recommended to keep species together. These would each need their own tank.
 
Cool, thanks a lot guys, that's awesomely helpful!

Currently I am toying with the idea of 2 new tanks now, one for lotls and one for newts.....

*Sigh* i think i'm addicted...... :D

    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?
