We now have a photo, which is posted in the thread on "anatomy words".

But a definition is another matter. It's not in wikipedia!

Cirrus (plural cirri): a fleshy downward extension of the upper lip that encompasses the [nasolabial groove]. Occurs on some Plethodontid salamanders. Functions in chemoreception.

    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?
