I have an existing axie, josé, who is about 20-22cm, she's been by herself for 1.5 years after her axie friend died :( (suspected morphing). The only place around my area that sells, sells axies about 12-14cm. I'm also worried about thickness, José is quite thick, her body is about/ just under the width of her head which is about 3cm and the ones in the pet shop is like 2cm max. Is that too much of a difference in a 3ft tank with 5 hidey holes?

    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?
