Pretty much what it says in the title. I'm finally able to purchase a tank for my future P. waltl, and I'm thinking a 20 gallon is my best bet. Do people generally prefer long or high? Does one work better than the other?

I would wait for a Petco 1 for 1$ sale and get a 40B, I think the 20g tanks are around $30, for $10 more you get a lot more surface area. Depth of the tank is not as important (in my opinion)

Long will give them a larger footprint to explore. In my experience the additional depth is rarely used, the newts will spend most of their time on the bottom.

Awesome. I mostly asked cause I knew the sale was going on and wanted to go ahead with it before the next herp expo here. I was going for the 20L but my Petco was sold out, so I went ahead with the 29 gallon with little persuasion lol.

    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?
