Hello! I have discovered some tiny white specks along the bottom of the substrate in my tank. I introduced springtails a couple months ago, and they disappeared. I’m wondering if these could be baby springtails. Looking VERY closely I feel like I can see antennae, but I may be imagining them. I have not seen them move. Planning on doing a full substrate swap tomorrow anyway, just wondering if I should be concerned.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
