I was wondering on how to keep this animals? Also can they be bred in an aquarium? And how do you sex them?

I'm not sure about the breeding, but I know I saw it on the web somewhere, so if you google it you're sure to find it I agree with the sloped tank, 1/2 land, 1/2 water, be sure to heat the water because the little fellows are coldblooded, don't want them becoming newt-cicles (like mine did... ). Mine would only eat crickets, none of the processed food, and just for extra precautions, if you can -somehow- avoid it, I wouldn't use gravel... I had a frog accidentally swallow a mouthfull of gravel before and die, and I'm guessing the same could happen with newts. That's all I can say!
