Compare and Contrast

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
 
That's what I said and then I asked them to change it so we can avoid any legal difficulties.
 
At least the imitation isn't better than the original- that way it's cute.;)
 
My worry and reason for asking them to change it is that I do not want their customers to think I have something to do with their business or endorse it.
 
My first thought was that was an offshoot of your original axolotl board for members who don't speak english/american. Then I saw the "PRICE" button and realized you aren't a sales board, you would never do that. But it certainly gave me pause!

But THEIR axolotl wags its tail (uh... okay), AND they keep their axolotls with angelfish. Looks like they may have also snagged some info from AGSC.
 
Have you specifically told them what needs to be changed to avoid confusion? So much is near identical-colour rounded corners with fading, layout of tabs. - background with axolotls for a start.

Will AGSC have a go at them as well?

I see they are trying to sell several thousand wild type and leucistic axolotls: If they don't change style you may get a lot of "Help I bought an axolotl from you and it's sick posts"
 
I've given them specifics about my site.

In what way does it copy the AGSC? We should probably let them know, even though they offer almost nothing in the way of information to the non-scientific public. I very much miss the Indiana University Axolotl Colony. Oh well.
 
I thought their 'available animals' table looked very similar to one of theirs, but I might just be on a witch-hunt.
 
I have to agree Kaysie. Except for the fact that the AGSC has one additional genotype, the price list is verbatim.
 
That's pretty minor. It's not like they ripped off the whole AGSC site...
 
I wondered if the embryo drawings on the russian development page were a breach of copyright ripped off from AGSC. At the moment most of the AGSC images do not download to my computer but the first is identical.

    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?
