You could probably have 3 - 5 in a 10 gallon tank. Just maks sure to have excellent filters. As for land, some driftwood and a rock or two sticking out of the water is all you need. Firebelly newts spend like 90% of their time in water.

acctually you don't realy need filters in your newt tank if you don't want them. i have a 15 gallon tank w/ 2 different newts of different species and a fire belly toad and no filter and they are quite well. just make sure that you clean the tank regularly.
