I just got my new Axies!!! I got 6 larvae. They are about an inch long!!! So my question is, Should I put them together in a 10 gallon or separate in their own little cup? They already have little legs.

Keep them in their own little containers. They're to the size now where cannibalism is going to be one of their bigger threats.

i dont even know what golden pearls are, but brine shrimp are recomended for larva. Serparate containers means they will all get the aquired amount of food so they will grow up evenly and it is much easier to clean.

Id would try and get some daphnia for food as these are awesome and not messy like brine shrimp as they live in fresh water and any uneaten food will just swim about and probly breed. Seperating them is better to get even growth and the lil guys dnt get picked on.I find having two or three similar sized axes together is fine if they have a enough room and a few plants they wont eat each other.That way its easy than havin 20 lil tanks each with one axoltl in it

    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?
