I have a 704X34cm tank and the whole back wall is a mirror... will this freak the axolotles? i need to know if it will stress them out and if it does i should get a backdrop, is this nessicery?}
 
i got my bird a mirror bicause at the time i couldnt get a new bird and she thought she had a friend in the cage with her. So i guess the axolotle will see a reflection of him/herself adn might think they have a room mate. but dont forget they have a bluy vision or it isnt as gud as ours,
 
If your axolotl is non-territorial, I don't think this will cause a problem. But bear in mind that some axolotls just like to fight, and may attack the reflection. They also tend to snap at anything that moves, so you may see this happening a lot. Try it with the mirror, if it freaks them out, get a backdrop. It may be just fine without the backdrop.
 
okay thanx

    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?
