I purchased my first Axolotl yesterday evening. His name is Axel Rose. I know his name isn't spelled the same, but, my husband and I were spit balling names and it stuck. So, welcome to the family, bud. ❤️

Crazy cute!!

I would just suggest taking out the gravel/pebbles that are mixed in the substrate - axies swallow them and get impacted.

I did last night! When I bought him I hadn't done any research on him. I set up his own little 10 gallon tank with purely sand and hiding spots in it. Will post pictures of it later today ?

    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?
