The best laid plans....

I have, as suggested, moved the water level up and made the land level smaller in the attempt to lure my little amigos into their aquatic phase.

But they now merely cower in the tiny land section and still seem water shy!!!! What should I do?

Also there are three and two keep together and one is a solitary chap- why is this?

Ed, keep them moist. I have my water level raised so they have to sit in the water, but still keep their head above land (water is a few mm above the land space). Eventually, they'll go into the water when they're ready.

Newts by nature are solitary creatures. They may huddle together because thats the best land area.

    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?
