How big is your tank? Also, the dog made me laugh how he or she kept poking his or head in. I was like, "Get down, Wishbone,"

My tank is 75 gallons, yeah she's just as interested in the axolotls in me except she's interested in eating them lol.

Haha, my dogs couldn't care less about the axolotls, although one tries to drink the water sometimes. The cat on the other hand...

I counted 6 axolotls in there, right?

Yeah, they're fine in there. There's no biting and they all have plenty of room to move around. Heck sometimes my tank looks like there isn't anything 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?
