I've been spamming this website with questions the past week, but want to make sure I'm doing things right for the newts.

Basically, what would you say is the maximum number of N. crocatus or I. alpestris apuanas you could house in a 24"x12"x16" (20 gal) or a 36"x18"x16" (40 gal).

Personally I'd say 3-4 alpestris or 2-3 crocatus in the 20 gal, and 6-7 alpestris or 4-5 crocatus in the 40 gal. I ask because I'll most likely get a 20 gal, and don't want to overcrowd the tank with newts.

Thanks for the help!

    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?
