A better way to show how big it would be, would be to put something against her tank for reference: a soda can, a ruler.

I talked to her in chat. She said it was 9 inches ( thats what you said, no? ).
So that would make it a neotenic adult, correct? -Seth

If conditions are good, at that size they should stay neotenic, but if the conditions aren't good, they will morph.
Chances are that the pet store doesn't take good care of them, like most pet stores unfortunately.
I would definitely say that yours is neotenic MissLizD13. It can be kept like an axolotl.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
