So I just caught a cold, I'm not feeling too bad, but I'm afraid it can transfer to my axolotls or fish like it can with my ferrets. Does any one know if it can? I've been washing my hands and arms before feeding them, but I'm worried I might get the sickness in the water when I clean the tanks today. I'd assume it wouldn't spread since they're different kingdoms of animals.
 
Well I've never seen an axolotl sneeze.....!
I have no idea if axies can catch a common cold - I very much doubt it as their biology is so different to mammals.
I know my axies haven't suffered any adverse affects when anyone in my house has been ill.

    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?
