I have three 3 inchers & a 6 incher , the little ones are in their own separate tanks in the big ones tank

now they can see each other because when the big ones swims by the little ones sometimes snap at the wall where the big one is close, i have never seen the big one snap at their tanks though,

i have read that you cant keep them together , but i have also read that you can after the little ones reach a certain size & i have seen videos & pics of them swimming in harmony,

i would like to know how to integrate them in the big ones environment

i will also attach a pic of my set up so you can see how i keep them

sorry for the blurryness iphone 3 camera sucks ***

your big guy will eat them at that size... you need to wait till the babies are at least two thirds his size... and even that might not stop him having a go...

I was about to start a thread about this, but my situation is a little different. I have three axies
in a 15g tank. And I'm really excited to put them together but my melanoid axie is the biggest
of them three, almost four inches. The two leucistics are just above three inches, I was thinking if
they are big enough to be put together?

    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?
