Hi, My name is Robert I live near Portland Oregon. I joined the site because I am interested in Axolotls. I have read about them several times in the past and have always thought it would be neat to raise some of these wierd critters. In looking for a source for these creatures the internet led me here. My background is in tropical fish, I have maybe 40 tanks right now from 2.5 to 55 gallons. I raise mostly killifish and livebearers although I have a quite diverse collection. I have been in the fish hobby for close to 40 years. I have had frogs, toads, and newts in the past but these were mostly local stuff that were in my ponds and such.
Anyway I feel I have the resources to do a good job raising and hopefully breeding some of these things and hoping to use the site as a source to get started.

    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?
