I found this terrarium design for terrestrial amphibians in a book for laboratory animals. I am getting a 60 litre tank which I am hoping to create something similar in to house my T. shanjing. A large area on one side with a slight stream in front of the land area created either with glass divider or a sloping floor design.

Thinking plenty of rocks, cork bark, hides, live plants (ferns, ivy, creeping plants), aquatic plants and moss.

The design uses a circulation pump taking water from the water area up the back of the tank to create a waterfall.
Circulation pumps I have researched have settings on them for slow flow and rapid flow.

My question could this be used to mimic seasons to create a flood to enhance breeding?

Any thought or suggestions?

    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?
