Hello. I’m new. I was thinking about getting some Chinese fire bellied newts. I was thinking about maybe keeping another animal in the same tank. Maybe a vampire crab or something. Do you have any recommendations. I would prefer something that lives on land or land/water.

Chinese Fire Belly newts are quite peaceful, but I would advise against mixing them with other amphibians. Especially African Dwarf Frogs which as far as I understand need heating whilst the newts are stressed out above around 23c. Mixing amphibians also increases risk of pathogens spreading. If you really want something else with them I know people have success with shrimp species although mine ate any I added. :uhoh:

    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?
