Hi guys

Just wondering to myself - does anyone know of any species that are similar to axies and that can live with them ? I remeber seeing something very similar in a book but can't rememeber what it was called ..

Anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

Karen

No. Tiger sal larvae may be acceptable for short term, but neotenic tigers would chomp on axolotls.

Mudpuppies may look similar to axolotls, but are not closely related. They are quite skilled hunters, with nasty teeth. Any axolotl in with a mudpuppy would be a snack.

    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?
