New axolotl owner here. I brought some eggs home from the lab where I work, and three weeks later ... I now have 14 babies! I'm excited to be joining this community and embarking on my axie journey! Expect lots of questions :p

Oh, and I also have an Eastern newt named Sgt. Pepper.

Our lab primarily focuses on behavior and neurobiology. Currently, one of the grad students is studying courtship behavior and pheromone dispersal in axolotls.

Turns out, when you put a courting male and female in a tank together ... eggs can happen!

    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?
