I've read the article about what type of enclosure to keep larvae in, but my question is what about cycling? How would you do that in a small container?

I never cycled my larvae containers but instead did almost 100% water changes every 2-3 days. To me this was easier than having to worry about test strips and only partial water changes because at one time I had about 6 containers of larvae. Cycling would have been a headache!

I just keep mine in the same tank as their parents but in a fry tank used for newly born fish. That way I dont have to worry about water quality or lack of food as there are plenty of micro sized life in the tank already.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
