Hi, i have a one year old axie (i think it is 1 y.o. i have it since november 2013), and like a month ago it started getting fattier, slowly but consistently (i don´t know if i must be worried or it is just something normal). well, i´ve just took some pics, and tell me what you think about this guy:

Doesn't look like bloating. You can usually identify bloat by looking at the limbs - fat arms & legs mean bloat.

Your axie has normal legs, and I would say it's more likely to be fat than gravid. Gravid axies tend to be pear-shaped and fatter at the hip end of the body. Fat axies are usually barrel-shaped.

    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?
