I have a fire belly newt in a 3 gallon tank and am just wondering if putting in a bubble wall is a good idea. I read that aeration is good for newts, but will the bubbles just upset my newt?

Thanks!
 
With a species like orientalis, that likes the water calm, your just better off doing water changes. Especially in a small tank like that.
 
A 3 gallong tank is waaaaaaaay too small for a single Cynops orientalis. For a correct housing you will need at least a 10 gallon standard tank. I agree that the bubble wall is unnecessary and would probably cause stress. You can substitute filters and areators by having lots of live plants.

    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?
