I'm researching fire belly newts as a potential pet. I have several questions.
1:Are they like taking care of axolotls?
2: I read they need ice cold waters so would the frozen ice bottle method work? I use those for my axolotls.
3: Would they need a basking area or are they fully aquatic?
4: Any certain type of filters to avoid or certain gravel/rocks/decorations to avoid? I personally use slate tiles for all my aquariums so would that be okay for a newt?
5: How large do they get and how many would be okay for a 10 gallon aquarium?
6: What do I feed them and how much?
7: Are they fun to watch or just sit there doing nothing like an adult axolotl?
8: Why do you personally love them?
Any other tips to help me decide if a fire belly newt is right for me will be greatly appreciated!
