Hi everyone

Just thought i would introduce myself to you all. I have been visiting this site regulary for about 6 months now but only signed up today.This site has helped me learn so much more. My name is dave and i have 4 axolotls. 2 leucistic 1 melanoid and 1 wildtype. I have been keeping axolotls for about 18 months now. I also have about 50 babies which i am looking after as a friend of mine did not think she would be able to rear them. So far i seem to be doing ok. They are about 3 weeks old. Anyways just thought i would say hello to you all

Hi Dave!

I'm in a similar boat to you. I used the site for ages, just to keep on top of tips and ideas for looking after my four axies.

It's only recently, when my axies laid a batch of eggs unexpectedly, that I've become more vocal. ;)

Best of luck with those babies, let me know if you come up with any great baby-keeping ideas!

    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?
