Hai Paris, this is one of my preferate ambystoma species.. but this year they didn't breed (the first time in 6 years). Mine do not have such a solid yellow line. Which subspecies should this be ??
 
i dont know that one henk-can you post a photo for reference or do you have collection data (that would be best to ID them)....what do you do to get yours to breed? what size set up do they breed in?
 
Well I keep mine close to freezing for the winter (dark) then when spring pops up (around january/fe/march) they are setup in a tank which very high humidity and water. I kept 5 in a tank of 60 by 40 which did well, but I am using those stones / buidling bricks with isolation holes in which they hide.

They were again succesfully bred through a friend of mine (who has offspring of mine) so we are (both) currently at F2.

Mine are form the Portland, Oregon region and are nominate subspecies (A. m. macrodactylum).
 
Paris,
I believe you have A.m. krausei. I know Russ collected quite a few metamorph's awhile back and I thought you got some of them.

    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?
