SOme people say a 5 gallon is fine for one newt. For smaller newts a 5 gallon is fine. A 10 gallon is alot better, and you could keep multiple newts. FIre salamanders are terrestrial, requiring a damp habitat. Firebelly newts require half land half water. Or all water with just a floating island or something like that (as long as it’s a land area to on which they can dry off).
