Hello I'm new to keeping alpine newts, I have 5 morphs (I think that's what they are called) they are still tiny.

Mine are the T.a.apuanus subspecies, sorry if I get the terminology wrong. What is yours? Is it terrestrial? It has a very orange tummy! Mine have a kind of pale yellowy-orange tummy at the moment. They are so beautiful though, I love to watch them. I'm hoping in the future to construct a glass cube-like tank to have as a feature in the living room, everybody has fallen in love with them!
 
mines more aquatic but he has land which he has used, not sure on the subspecies, its an italian one so im assuming Triturus alpestris

    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?
