if you guys can remember far enough back to the beginning of this summer when i got 2 species of hynobids off the pet trade. they were very bad off- a few were good weight but some were way to thin and missing tails from probably getting them shut in a container. here is what they used to look like-this is average weight

here are some current photos-you can see in this one that though some are not to full health they are much much fatter and tails have grown back. this is my thinnest specimen.

..now i have to see if i can get them to breed!
 
Paris, I think they will need to grow a bit more before you can breed them; judging from the size of the animal on your hand. Anyway I sincerally hope you succeed breeding them... good luck
 
They look great but they still have juvenile coloration. I suppose you'll have to wait another year or two ;)
 
since these are all the same size, and within the range (which is very broad) i assumed they were old enough-but this now leads me to wonder, is it possible they are captive bred stock that was poorly taken care of? the same goes for my nigrescens....
 
That's maybe possible Paris, but at least they got in good hands now !!
 
Seems you did a good job there Paris, I hope you get them to breed - no matter how long it takes them to be old enough.

good luck

    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?
