I keep thinking my axolotl larvae are looking a bit like tiger salamander larvae. I don't know enough about this to make sense of it, but their head shapes seem more pointed and their eyes look different to me. (Maybe I'm on crack from staring at them for too long.) Do you think these pictures look like they have normal axolotl-shaped heads and eyes?

My wild type female has a head shaped like that. I can only assume it's a natural variation, seeing as they are closely related anyway.

    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?
