My original male and female N.v.v. are the larger specimens shown, and the smaller female is the one I got recently (all from the same pond). I have had the male and female for 2 years, and thought I would introduce another female into the (20 gallon) tank. What are your thoughts on the size of this new female? Is she sexually mature?

From what I've read, N.v.v.'s reach sexual maturity when they transition from red eft stage to aquatic adult stage. So I would say yes, she is sexually mature.

No thoughts on the size, but the pattern on your new female is spectacular.

You've got some beautiful nvv's! I'm glad to see mine are not the only chunky ones! (one of them looks like a butternut squash when viewed from above!) Maybe they're long lost relatives!

    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?
