Wondering if a 2.5 gallon tank is big enough for two terrestrial Red efts. When I first got them they were pretty tiny and this tank was clearly enough. They have grown alot in the past year and I'm wondering if that get would appreciate more space. They are about 3 inches long including tail each. Attached is a photo of the set up. Thoughts appreciated!

    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?
