I am being shipped 2 Lake Urmia Newts. How big should my tank be and what should be in the tank? I can't seem to find a care sheet for them.

Make sure you have an escape proof lid, (don't let the air line go under the lid, make a hole in the screen for it to go through) Sand or bare bottom as substrate, no gravel. Use lots of live plants and a sponge filter. When getting new arrivals i find it helpful to have a small piece of cork bark for them to rest on out of water as they will be adjusting to their new home, the same can be accomplished using floating plants.

    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?
