Does he look healthy? And my other one?

Ok, a few weeks ago my 'big' axie attacked the smaller one, in which he lost both his forelegs, his tail and a part of his gills. I put him in a seperate tank and he seems to be doing fine, eats well and his front legs are growing rapidly back. They're both still very young (from may '09).

Here are two pics, the first one of the big axie. He didn't get attacked and eats a lot, but still I wanna know how he looks, if he's 'healthy' in ur opinion. The 2nd pic is the attacked one, but I guess he's fine if I just leave him 'solo' for a while.

Thanks!

They both look good. The one that lost its legs looks like they are growing well. Keep the water clean and cool and all should be well. once they are older and more bulky they should be fine to put back together again.

Ok thanks. But the mouth of the big axie looks a tad weird in my opinion, or is this normal?

Thanks :)

    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?
