I currently have a male axolotl and I would like to purchase a friend for him. Before I look into buying another axolotl, I am concerned that my current one might not take too kindly to the new tank mate, as he previously had killed his tank mate while I was away on vacation (at this age I was unable to sex them, but from shape and the small bump under his tail, I assume he was male as well). It has been about 7 months since he had a tank buddy. Are any tips to introducing two axolotls to each other to prevent another death? He is a leucistic axolotl probably around 1 & 1/2 years old. The one he killed was a melanoid axolotl probably around 1 year old.

    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?
