i have to Notophthalmus viridescens newts. i just purchased a new home for them, a 5 1/2 gallon aquarium. i sealed off part of the tank to put dirt and plants. what kind of plants should i put in the dirt side? also is there any type of aquatic plants do newts enjoy.

From what I've seen in their natural habitat they usually go for areas with very light vegitation, a couple patches of aquatic grass that isn't too dense. I've seen them in ponds infested with a thick coat of duck weed, but I wouldn't go that route if I were you.

    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?
