Hi,
I've just come across this forum. I wish I had found it a few years ago when I got my axolotl (Spyro - a Golden Albino). It was quite hard to find anyone who a)knew what they were! or b)could recommend tank set-ups. After finding a couple of books he is now happy and well (if a little stupid - swimming into the side of the tank, getting transfixed by his bubble tube filter etc!)
Now he is quite large I have just bought a bigger tank and was wondering what sort of undergravel filtration people would recommend. The tank is 24" x 12" and I use pebbles bigger than his head as strata - let's see him try and eat these!
Look forward to hearing from people!

P.S He has strange white pigmentation on his tail and has had since I got him although the older he gets the more dense it gets. The breeder we got him from seems to think this is natural pigmentation. Does anyone disagree?
 
Hi Littleonyxguppy,

I note you have repeated this post in the forum section and received answers so I won't duplicate.

It's a great forum with a great bunch of people (and axies ;))

Welcome aboard!
 
Just a hello from me, and welcome :)

    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?
