My axolotl has stopped growing in about the past two months. He’s now 5 inches and about 10 months old. He was on a diet of exclusively frozen bloodworms, but is now eating half a nightcrawler every few days, with bloodworms every few days in between. What could I do to promote growth again? I’d like to move him to the tank with my bigger axolotls.

    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?
