I am thinking about re-doing my axolotl's tank (especially now that it's been pointed out to me some of the things the pet store owner who sold me the axolotl claimed were 'okay' are not!). On a somewhat aesthetic level, though, I'm curious: do you find the colors of things in your tank have any effect on your axolotl? If your tank is full of a lot of natural shades such as greens and browns is that best? Or are wacky and bright colors alright as well?

Maybe an unnecessary question, but I'm interested to know nonetheless! :p

    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?
