Hey everyone, obviously I'm new around here. My gorgeous man owns a axolotl (or as I like to call it 'a fishie'...much to his dismay lol). He's been a member here for a while now and really loves it all (I'm starting to think he loves that 'fishie' more than he loves me :p lo!l). Anyway, I want to share in his hobby/passion for these most unusual creatures (especially if I'm to be living with them when we move in together :D ). I'm interested in learning more about them...I mean from what I've read so far (and from knowing the trouble my man goes to) there's a lot of care involved in owning axolotls and I truly admire you all. Me though, I'm a bird person :lame: lol!

Anyway, it's good to meet you all and be a part of your community. Thanks to my man for inviting me to join in. I look forward to getting know some of you.

Cheers!

Hey Princess,

Welcome to the forums. Wish I could get my partner interested in axies... nice that you are getting involved in your partner's hobby! :p He does check the temperature for me whilst I am at work though and puts ice bottles in when it gets hot so that is enough for the moment :D

Hehe he calls my axie 'how's the fish??' to annoy me also... Now he has taken to miming my (predictable) response 'AMPHIBIAN!' as I correct him. :rolleyes:

    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?
