    Anyone ever kept tailed frogs?

    I don't think anybody has kept them in captivity but I've read about them. They live in flowing streams so would need a sort of hillstream paludarium with lots of big pebbles to hide under.

    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?
