My friend and I are debating over tree frogs, the question is: Are Red Eyed Tree and Black Eyed tree frogs part of the monkey frogs?
 
Red-eyed tree frogs (leaf frogs) are part of the Agalychnis genus while monkey frogs are part of the Phyllomedusa genus.
 
They are closely related to "monkey frogs"...

The genus Phyllomedusa (which are most commonly called monkey frogs) and the genus Agalychnis (containing red-eyed and black-eyed treefrogs) are both in the same subfamily, Phyllomedusinae. This group is usually referred to as "leaf frogs" or "branch frogs."

HTH :)

    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?
