Well, a 30-long is the same size as a 55-gallon, just not as tall. It's a pretty big tank. Unless the newts are over 8 inches each (which is possible, but not likely) or accompanied by other animals, I think the tank size may be adequate. Getting rid of a couple of the extras might help with reproduction and general comfort though. Also, feeding with rich foods, such as earthworms or occasional waxworms, might help encourage reproduction.
