So I had a tank sitting around and decided id finally start a newt tank. Not sure what I should put in here, but im thinking a FBN

WOW! It's very good, naturalistic tank. The cocofiber and cork looks great. I would put there some plants, and it will be close to perfect :mrgreen: I think that the FBN will be good for this vivarium.
 
Heres a pic with moss and some crypts.

Heres a picture of the water feature since it doesn't show up on the other image.

That's a nice setup, I like the natural look, too.
You may have to watch the cork with constant contact to the water; some of mine started to rot after some months and I had to replace it.
 
Hopefully it will be alright, I put silicone all down it.
 
Are there any small holes/gaps where a small newt could crawl behind the cork? If there's a way to do it, they'll find it. The danger is that they'll crawl in and hide in a crevice and never come out to eat.
 
There were but I covered the holes with the coco fiber or gravel, everything should be alright hopefully.
 
I ran into my first problem. The water feature just wouldn't work where it was located because I cannot get to the filter! DOH. So I had to rearrange the tank, and while I was at it I gave more swimming space.

    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?
