I've been doing some research to decide which new pet I should get I've had a lot of experience with amphibians and I was thinking of getting a d. azureus poison dart frog so I did some research and I saw that most websites said something different on how to care for them and I can't find any books on them so does anyone keep them and have a good caresheet on them?

You can't find any good books on darts? Try "Poison Dart Frogs" by Amanda and Greg Sihler, TFH Publication
I keep a few darts myself, including azureus which is no longer a valid species. It is now considered a color morph of Dendrobates tinctorius. What do you want to know?

Most book stores will order a title for you if you know what you want.

Definitely dendroboard.com is a terrific resource with access to care sheets and fellow hobbyists. I recommend it highly!

As far I know, it's still Dendrobates azureus. I don't know of any paper that has them redescribed.

It doesn't matter to me if it's a book or a care sheet from the internet. I should've said that in the first place.

    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?
