Hi people,

I'm Alex I'm from the UK and I'm currently at university studying Biomedical Sciences. I'm blatantly new to the site...:)

I want to get myself some axolotls sometime in the very near future and am setting up the tanks and what-not at the moment. I initially just want one or two as pets with the outlook of maybe breeding them later on when I have a more stable living arrangement (aka my own home :) ).

Any advise and/or secret tips are more than welcome but I have done my homework so I'm not completely without an idea.

Don't hesitate to get in touch...I'm quite a social person and I don't bite...well not hard anyway :D

Can't wait to hear from you guys,
Alex
 
Hail Lord Alex!

Welcome to the site.

Don't worry. We don't bite either - well, not as hard as our axolotls anyway ;).
 
There are certainly a lot of Axolotl hobbyists on this site, which is what drew me here (recently) as well. I wish you luck, and hope to hear how everything goes once you get your Axolotls.
 
Will certainly remain active...this site is amazing for real-life advice.

Keep in touch and i'll let you know how I (or should I say they) get on :D. Are you an Axolotl keeper too?
 
Not yet. Like you, I've just set up a tank that I hope will house Axolotls soon. I've been keeping herps since I could talk, and I've been serious about them since ~1994. Right now, my little menagerie consists of 2 leopard geckos, 2 big-eyed treefrogs, 2 parakeets, and a 20G long fishtank that includes African Dwarf Frogs. After setting up this Axolotl tank, I think I'll have maxed out the number of enclosures that my apartment can (comfortably) fit, so that will be all for a while.

I only found this site a day or two ago, and I can't pry my eyes away. I hope you're liking it as much as I.
 
Yeah this site is amazing...It's fantastic for getting the juicy bits of info you can only get from people who have done it themselves :)

    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?
