Both Pachytriton as well as Paramesotriton can be pretty agressive. In that case you'll wind up with a single male and possibly a few females in each tank. With sheets of plastic foam (as used for filtering) you can separate a tank into several compartments so that any individual can avoid sitting just in front of the bully. This might not allow to keep more than one male but it and females will get along fine. BTW, the newts will find each other when they are really willing to meet...
BTW, I've found healthy Pachytritons to be pretty hardy and not too fuzzy with water quality. I keep them cool though (max. 16 deg C).
Best wishes,
