I was wondering what is the optimal temperature for rearing larvae. In my basement they are at 58f and seem to be growing quite slowly. Thank you for any advice
 
My larvae grow faster in the summer in the basement when it gets to be about 67-70 degrees F. At that temp, sometimes I feed them twice each day.
 
They'll grow more slowly when it's cold. I raised this latest batch at around 65 (with dips into the 50's and spikes to 70), and they reached 2 inches with back legs within 8-10 weeks.

    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?
