I have 3 in red eft stage. A 2 inch ish one and two little tiny 1 inchers. These are my first newts and salamanders. I noticed the one of the little ones on the other little ones back. Is this some kind of dominance thing? I haven't noticed any of them be aggressive in any way but they are mostly active while I sleep. I've found one of the little ones hiding under the same leaf as the big one. They all seem to get along and they were both atop a fern while piggy back riding. They were stationary and neither was doing anything to the other.
 
This could happen from time to time but it is harmless

Thanks. I just wanted to be sure, if they aren't going to be friends I'd split them to different tanks. If they were acting aggressively what would I look for or is this something I would only need to worry about with adult males?

    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?
