If its a new set up they will go about the glass for a while, they are checking out the invisible boundaries!

thye will find the crickets ok, but keep an eye on them!!

They should be able to hunt down the crickets no problem.

Don't put too many crickets into the tank at a time. They can inflict nasty bites on salamanders, so you don't want them free-roaming in the tank if they're not going to be eaten right away.

I always place worms/wax worm etc, in front of my Fire Salamander hides. They come out and grab them.

    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?
