I have two portuguese fire salamanders in separate tanks I was thinking of putting them together in a larger tank. Is that a good idea or should I keep them separate? I would appreciate any advice.

Yes you can but of course there's always the small print: e.g. The larger one isn't large enough to eat the smaller one; you have had them long enough to know they are disease free and can't infect each other; if they are from the same locality and you don't want to preserve the purity of any offspring. Good luck with your adventure.

    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?
