Newt or Salamander recomendations

[horsyqueen]

Currently I keep fish, mostly cichlids and a pleco also a future Channa Bleheri but I really want to have some newts or salamanders as I have never had them before other then the British native varieties. At the moment I have two spare glass aquariums one is 15L more tall but I don't think either of these are particurly arborial but also I own a 12L which is more retangular shaped. Will any of these do? If not I can buy some 'Really Useful Boxes'.
What species is recommended for beginners who want something interesting either behavior wise or colour? I would also prefer them not to spend most their time in water.
I really like fire salamanders but I am not sure whether all are legal. It would also be great if they ate small life inverts so either crickets or mealworms like the Channa I will get.

Thank you!

Depends on what kind of setup you want, aquatic vs terrestrial, there are some cases of in-between but not many.
For an aquatic tank you would need at least 37 Liters of water in the tank, but a smaller enclosure could be used for terrestrial animals.

I'd rather have terrestrial as it would be something new and different to fish.

Well, there are several options for terrestrial tanks, Ambystoma sp. is good but is difficult to find CB animals, Salamandra would probably be nice too.
Here are the links so several caresheets if you want to take a look at those and decide:

Thank you soo much! I will take a look at them.

I think I will get some fire salamanders and then get one of the 'Really Useful Bodes'. The substrate will probably be aquarium plant substrate with a top layer of some kinda substrate stuff flood it a little bit leaving a land area to replicate the rainy season. I got so many ideas

Fire salamanders are great. But where they live (Europe) there isn't such a thing as a rainy season. They are really well suited to outdoor vivariums, so that's something to consider as well. Really useful boxes are perfect for keeping them in.
