i have been looking at getting a couple of fire belly, i'm not buying from a pet store but a friend i met on line she apparently she has like 20 of them. i just am not sure of their habitat. i read several books and have yet to ask my friend but i want to get other keepers advice on here. one book said they don't need much water very little just enough to be all wet. another said they can be kept with fish (yeah right) i have seen some fire belly newts tanks with almost full 10 gallon with a turtle dock and no filter
Yep, they just need shallow water and a big rock (or rock pile or whatever) to perch on when they feel like it. Mine used to like their legs on the pool bottom and head peeping up. Didn't go on land too much, but nice to give them the option. They're really easy.
