Just wondering what there average size would be? And would a length of 18.5cm be good for a tank?
 
Which species of firebelly are you asking about?
 
C.orientalis usually get from 7-10 cm long. A tank that's 18.5 cm seems a bit small for one, consider upgrading a bit.
 
That would be a small tank for any size orientalis. They're small newts but appreciate room to roam. A tank measuring 30 x 20 cm or bigger would be a good size.

i agree they maybe small but they like lots of room, 10 gallon tanks are seen as a minimum but the bigger the better.

and 18.5 is pretty tiny.

    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?
