So I recently picked up a 40g breeder and was looking at different type of fish. I mentioned to someone that I liked water snake like fish and long story short it led me to Siren intermedia. 1) is a 40g breeder big enough in the right ways for one, and 2) where do I even start in trying to locate one? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
Sorry, I realize that this is in the wrong section but only noticed immediately after I posted it.
 
I know this post is older but maybe you are still looking for an answer.

1) The care sheet for them says a 40 breeder is fine. With one of my lessers it isn't. Most sirens are sold as S. Intermedia so you could be getting a S. Intermedia Nettingi, which are larger. I have one that is around 4 years old and he is 21.5 inches long. He lives in a 75 gallon tank. Anything less, I think, would be small and cramped. I have another smaller one in a 45 gallon tank, but he/she is only a little over a year old, 12ish inches and not fully grown. I think it may not grow as large and is a different variety of lesser siren than my older one, guaging by the size, color, and age.

2) Backwater reptiles has them for sale right now.

I hope that helps.

    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?
