What do tiger lavae look like when they first hatch and how big are they?

Re: tiger larvae

Below is a photo of one of my A.mavortium larvae one day after hatching. They look identical to axolotls, but are much smaller. I regret not measuring the hatchlings now, but they're under half an inch. There isn't a set size limit for them. They can morph anywhere from 4 inches to 13+ inches.

    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?
