Beautiful animals my friend, as usual. Those gold dust areas are considerably large! They are feeding 100% in bloodworm's or are you offer more variety?
Cheers,

Lovely! Do these two have the most exemplary coloration from among the offspring?

I've got 5 of them. I hope for some of these this season. (around 70-80 larvae).
I feed them bloodworms, tubifex worms and chopped earthworms the most.

Awesome popei - and must admit a bit of jealousy, as my guys have very little in the "gold dust" department.

    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?
