Hi!. I keep axolotls at school in NM (they're bred by my school, so staff at school take care of them over the summer). I started to keep axolotls in the spring of this year, and I've been reading this forum for nearly that long (only just joined!). I was raised around fishtanks (my Dad bred freshwater angelfish when I was a kid) and I spent this past summer working in an Irish aquarium.

I have two axolotls: a wildtype named Pascal and a melanoid who has yet to be named. They're both about 10 months old, not too big yet, and they live in a tank in my dorm room. I'm in the process of adding sand substrate to my tank, so Pascal and his friend are in a plastic container at the moment. I shall update with pics in the Axolotl section once they're settled into their tank.

Nice to meet you all!

    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?
