Got my new tank - figured 75ltrs would be heaps of room for a heap of babies .... being the impatient sort I cleaned it out and drained water from my other tanks to fill it so I could just pop em in.

Well I dont know where they were coming from but Im sure they multiplied as I transferred them - each time I moved one I swear two more magically appeared in its place!! I have some goldens coming (albino I think) so def need at least 1 spare tank - not willing to risk putting them in with mine for a while.

Oh and looking at them under lights seems they have quite different colours to what I thought.

*Sighs* Was hoping to spend tonight just gazing admiringly in my new tank.

Its never ending, especially as the pesky things have this annoying habit of growing :eek: Maybe use plastic crates? They are not as pretty but so much cheaper.

Yeah funny how they keep doing that aye! But Im sure they are multiplying as well - seems no matter how many I pull out there's just as many left.

Would probably help if I found some homes for some DUH have one tank that would easily go off into the big wide world now and another maybe a week of so away.

Maybe I should just fill up the swimming pool LOL

    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?
