Made a tank for baby fire belly newts. Haven’t found a breeder yet but hopefully will. What do you guys think of this setup?

Sounds very realistic.
Just 2 remarks :
- Baby fire bellies are usually fully terrestrial, so they will be most of the time on the terrestrial part where the'll have to be fed with little living preys,
- What is the electric wire for ? whatever it is, a baby fire belly can escape easily by this way.
 
It’s for the water pump that is cycling water around the tank
 
If you find a breeder, you'll certainly get fully terrestrial babies. They'll stay fully terrestrial for years. Cycling (?) the water isn't an emergency.
The setup for baby firebellies is more like that of salamanders, with dead leaves and moss.
Preventig escapes is the real emergency.
 
Water is far too deep for terrestrial juvenile firebelly newts. They'd drown in that.

    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?
