I got a Leucistic SRN which I believe is a female although i'm not sure and after being quarantined I put her with my other 4 SRN, as they are all about the same size. She has been in the tank for around 20 days now and she grew a bit but is also getting pretty fat.

Is this normal? The others even though eating similar amounts don't seem to be getting as fat.

Yep, it's definitely a female. She looks normal, and growth rates are different among individuals. You may also have 4 males, which will most likely never grow as large as a female gearing for eggs.
 
Thank you Jasper, just wanted to make sure there was nothing to worry about.
 
Worry: she seems to be levitating. ;)

    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?
