Well I got a banner on top saying I havent posted in several weeks so I thought this was interesting.

I was cleaning the tank the other day, just the top glass water stain and my newts could see me so they stretched themselves up to look until one was on its hind legs. So I stopped and than it just dropped, fell on its *** and was just sitting there looking up still. Front legs on its gut and rear legs and tail stretched out... sitting down. It was pretty damn funny and kinda cool.

    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?
