they get frozen bloodworm as a treat but do love thier worms .

Re: Advice neede plz

Im not sure, but it may be that one just metabolizes better than the other, just like people, maybe saxo has had a growth spirt and paxo hasnt yet, if paxo is eating alright and there arent any changes in his/her behavior, then him/her is probably fine, if paxo still isnt growing after another week or two, then post again please, I hope this helps, but you may also want to research it, just to be safe.

    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?
