Hey i'm Jade, i don't know if this is where i'm meant to post this or whatnot haha so sorry if i mess up. :p

I'm looking at buying a baby Axolotl and i was just wondering what type of care do they need? Are they high matenince or low matinence animals? What do i need for him? other then the obvious things like a tank & food lol. Do they need logs to hide in etc? Is it ok to put coloured pebbles in the tank? What do they eat? Are they very dirty animals? Just anything & everything you can tell me would be appreciated! Thanks :happy:

    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?
