I was so mad...

Today I went to the pet store near me just cos I wa sbored. they had a gorgeous golden albino and a pure black melanoid! The tank had gravel, a heater on 26C and strong filter flow. The golden albino was on the floor with one foot and gill missing. The melanoid was floating, looking sick, with fungus on it. I told the pet shop owner that this was wrong and she said "Doesnt look too bad in there. Should be fine"

Idiot. Makes me so mad.

Yes it´s sad but true, usually I see in most of the pet stores animals being kept in pour conditions, I always say anything but it is very hard for them to change anything to improve the situation, I even bought several animals just to get them out of there ,but it is a thing that we just have to deal with,once more it is really sad and hard to watch and do nothing but it´s not only up to us to change it. But every effort that we can do to change it it´s always good. Keep on protecting all animals.

they really need to tighten the laws on keeping animals in bulk like that
im glad my pet store keeps animals healthy and so on everything my family have bought from there seemed to have been ok

Yeah I've since discovered a much better aquarium - they know their fish/axies

    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?
