Filters?

I'm wondering what a good filter would be for my set up?

I have a 10g which I will convert to part water, part land for my chinese fire belly newt. I'm just not sure what type of filter to get? Can somone possibly provide pictures of what would work?
 
Something small should do the trick like a Fluval 1 Plus or similar.

I would say you need either a bubble-driven filter (box filter or sponge filter or just an airstone), or else the smallest submersible you can find. The Duetto DJ50 has the lowest wattage, thus lowest heat production. Unfortunately, any motor-driven filter will heat up the water to some extent, and that's generally a bad thing for newts.

    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?
