Aquarium setup pictures needed!

I am so glad that I found this site!!!!My 13yr old bought 2 chinese dwarf newts(without my knowledge lol)and now she doesn't want them, so I have sole custody of them. This is all new to me so these pic's are really helpful in my quest to give these guys a good home. Zuccone...Amazing is all I have to say about your set-up!! Just have a question..what is a vivarium, and could my newts live in one? Dynasty

Joel - This site provides some web space to users, but only those that donate a certain amount of money to the site. And the user has to be able to set up a web page on their own. Check the main caudata.org page.
 
¨Mike : for this tank, I change the substrate every year (a lot of earthworms and other small organisms keep the tank clean). For the water, which represents around 1/5 of the total area, I change 1/3 of volume every week.
The maintenence of this set up is now quite easy.

Lisa : this type of set up is quite adapted to terrestrial species only or for the terrestrial phase of certain species of newts

Jen and Joel - the way bandwidth is running this month I couldn't possibly give everyone photo space. It'll have to remain as a donor/major site contributor-only facility.

The number of visitors this month is our highest ever - 1150 unique visitors yesterday. We used to be at 800 until this month.

At least we killed Kingsnake's newt and salamander forum *evil cackle*, and to think, Jeff "I own Kingsnake.com" Baringer wanted me to put the axolotl site on Kingsnake in early 2000. Heh.
 
The newly revised expanded article is now online:

    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?
