I have got 4 of these.they need a bit of land where they can crawl onto.you can feed them on meal worms,blood worms,crickets most foods.they like a lot of hiding places and the males become aggressive to each other in the breeding season.the temperature of the water shoudnt be very high mine is on 10 c.you dont have to have a very powerful filter system but you should have one.thats about as much as I know try this link to find out more-http://www.livingunderworld.org/caudata/database/salamandridae/paramesotriton/

they are about 5-7 inches. Might I add that they can be very agressive outside the breeding season and that both males and females will attack eachother.

    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?
