You can keep blue-spotted sals in the same type of setup as tiger salamanders. You can find that information here.

As for space, I wouldn't keep any more than 2 in a 10 gallon.

Looks a little to moist for my liking but other then that its ok.. just make sure the blue spotted can get out of that water dish... not sure how deep it is.. but just make sure the dish is a easy in and out for them.. Maybe put some debris in it..? SO they can climb in and out.. though other then that like i said it seems like a good set up:>

Though i would give them some more hiding spots... Like maybe some bark from a tree and make like a little burrow for them to ambush the crickets or what ever creepy crawlies you have in there for them to eat?

    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?
