So, this week I am getting some I.a.apuanus eggs. I have a 20gal which I will use when they grow, it is all setup and is cycled. And I also have a 3gal which I was originally going to use for the hatching and small larval period and then switch them into the 20gal, should I do this? I was considering putting them straight into the 20gal and using that, but I figured I would just loose them! What do you think?
 
If you use the 3 gallon just be extremely careful the temperature doesn't get out of hand. I use a tank with about 5 gallons in it for raising C. pyrrhogaster babies, but it is in a cool part of the house and in any case C. pyrrho's are far more tolerant of higher temps. The real plus to using a small tank is that you can monitor their feeding quite easily, but temps can climb very rapidly in a small tank.

    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?
