Hey guys, I am just about to buy a axie, and i was wondering what would be the suitable size for one axie to live comfortably? Can anyone help me?

10G minimum, the long tanks are better, but really the price difference between 10 and 20g is not that much these days.

Yep, you could get a 10gal for $15-$20, and can pick up a 20long for about $25. I like the bigger tanks because it gives them more options to hide in different areas of the tank. I keep 3 adults in a 40long, and I just have the filter on one side, so they can get away from everything on the other side, if they so choose. Also gives you more places to put decorations, and hides for the animals.

    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?
