what the best animal to have with a oregon newt
 
My oregons are very social with each other. However, as Jennifer pointed out, unless you get them at the same time you are taking a serious risk of introducing a diseased animal. I know this from personal experience.
Take care,
Mary.
 
Oregon newts, as with other species, produce very toxic skin secretions that can and almost definitely will kill any other newt placed in the same tank.

a few years ago I had my pair of granulosas in a tub. When I took them out and gave them a new tank, I used the same tub later on to temporarily house three of my biggest spotted salamanders. Well, after a couple of hours of being in the tub (which I rinsed, but apparently not enough) two of them were dead and the remaining one was convulsing in the corner. I learned from that mistake.
Now when I change species in the tubs I usually throw scalding hot saline solution and scrub entirely.
 
they can't be kept with any other newt that is not Taricha granulosa (not <u>any</u> other species like is said)

    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?
