I am thinking about getting a few marbled salamanders and wondered if i could house 2.2 together ok? or if i should split them into 1.1 groups or just get 1.2?

I keep all mine together. They all hide in various spots of their tub, occasionally they seem to hang out together for a bit..and then return to their own spot.

Opacum look really nice but if you get some purchase a spade to dig them up, it's the only time you will ever see them. There are many more visible salamanders that you can get who make a better pet.

These salamanders really aren't aggressive towards each other so as long as you allow 10 gallons per salamander I would say they should be fine :)

They do fine together just make sure the more you get the more hiding places you provide and the bigger the tank. I'd say no more than two adults in a 10 gallon and so on.

    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?
