Best way to photograph indoors?

I want to enter a few photos for the 2010 calendar competition. I was wondering, does anyone use the shadow box method? This is when you take the front off of a 10gal(or create the same "open box" effect). Then put in eye pleasing living plants and such. Basically create a temporary habitat for the sole purpose of highlighting the best qualities of the target for photographing. I am very interested in showcasing my specimens and would love to do that in as professional way as possible! Thank you for your time!

    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?
