Hi everyone! My wife and I acquired our first axolotls (white leucistic and albino) about a year ago from a petland here in town, and a few months ago ran across a couple wild type babies they had placed in a little bug box, together with a goldfish, and some guppies, which had munched away at their axolotl tank mates, nearly to death. They were floating, and tipping over, and looked but days from perishing. I could not pass up the poor little ones' plight, and took them in. After a two week fridge stay, they have really bounced back.

The older ones have recently laid their first batch of eggs!

I attribute my pets' health to the wealth of information I have found here over the past year, and am grateful for the answers to my questions I have found time and again. The dedication members have to this site has set my mind at ease numerous times.

    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?
