Hello guys i was looking into keeping some frogs an was wondering what is the best for a beginner:
Hyla Or Rana?

Most Ranids are difficult to keep properly - very nervous.
Hylids are easier, but mostly nocturnal and can be very noisy!
Bombina?

I was thinking about Hyla versicolor, are those hard to keep?

Welcome to the wonderful world of Hylids!
(My main tip would be don't forget the vit-min supplement.)

My first frog was pseudacris Regilla, very hardy with no heat requirements.

I'm thinking of getting a tree frog but i'm worried about the noise it will make when I'm trying to sleep. Are there any frogs which make very little noise during the night? During the day doesn't matter.

    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?
