I have 13 babies about 4-5cm long in a compartmentalised tackle box.

I'm thinking of moving them to a tank so they have more room to move around and hopefully having more water it will stay a bit cooler.

What floor dimensions would I need to mimimize the chance of them eating each other?

:happy:
 
I would recommend a 2ft tank as a minimum for now, but then when they grow you'll need to split them in to 2 groups or get a bigger tank.
 
At 4-5 cm, there may still be cannibalism. Expect some legs and tail injuries.
Beyond 10 cm, they usually are less aggressive.

    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?
