Question: Tank sizes for larvae and juvenile Japanese fire belly newts (Cynops pyrrhogaster)

[sammannell]

Hey guys i'm hoping to breed my newts in the future and was wanting to set up a tank or two in advance so I can grow all the plants and be prepared etc..

What is the gallons per newt ratio for larvae approaching metamorphosis and terrestrial juveniles? Or just a rough size guide?

Can anyone show me their set ups?

This is how I raised my first pyrrhogaster babies. I don't know if its the best way, but it seemed to work quite well.
