Hey peoples the name's Trish and i'm very new to this site and haven't got the foggiest bout it lol but i LOVE axies and up until recently had a male and female ... but sadly my female died i'm interested in seeing the different colour variations especially the harlaquins and i've also heard of red and blue axies. Also if any1 knows of any helpful hints on how to keep the temp down in my tank without spending 1ooo dollars on a chiller or dumping a whole lot of party ice in and screwing the PH please let me know! :D Laters x

Hi Trish,

You've certainly come to the right place to learn more!

First, there are rules about being careful with typing, punctuation, grammar, etc., because a lot of people here do not speak English as their first language and have trouble reading, so when you post in the rest of the forum, please watch out for that.

Second, I have never heard of a blue or a red axolotl. The axolotl site (www.axolotl.org) has a page on color genetics which includes pictures of the various types of axolotls (click here).

Third, the Caudata Culture site has an article on cooling methods that is very interesting (click here).

And lastly, welcome to the Forum!

-Eva

    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?
