I finally finished the 100gallon conversion. I think it will look really nice once I find some more salamanders to place in it. I posted some pictures of the tank. It is in the basement so I had to add heating elements to the tank to maintain a optimum temperature in the wintertime.
There is currently 2 dusky sallies in the tank. I also have an adopted Grey Tree Frog and an Anole. Now before anyone jumps on the non-community tank...these animals have been living together for over 2 years. I specialized the tank so it has a hanging heat lamp and reptilian Sun lamps for "Steve" (anole) You would be able to find the two arboreal species occupying the same micro-system but the grey tree frog and the anole have different niches within the micro-system. The dusky obviously are terrestrial/aquatic and occupy a completely different niche.

compliments, beautiful job! but the sketch behind, you have done him?
but if you will put some salamanders, will you have to remove the heatings, true?

    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?
