Over this past summer, my fiancee and I set up a 55-gallon aquarium that I received for free from my boss to house our spotted salamanders, which were beginning to get a bit cramped in their 10G. The enclosure included a Great Stuf background hardened with Hot Foam Factory foam sealant, with a waterfall carved in and sealed with silicone. (The spotted sallies' tankmates, a group of black-bellied duskies I bought after falling in love with them in the Smokies, adore the waterfall). I'll get a topic up in Enclosures & Vivaria soon.

Here are a couple pictures of one of my medium-sized (~5") spotted, chilling on my favorite mossy rock from the yard:



 
Nice looking salamander! Any more pictures of the tank, so far it looks pretty good!

    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?
