For a some time now I've been hoping to keep some H. cyanurus and while I know there are a few people who breed them in the US, they seem hard to track down here in the UK.
I know there was at least one shipment of them into the UK a few years ago because I saw them for sale in poor shape in our local aquatic shops and garden centres, did anyone manage to breed from those?
This isn't a wanted add, I'm just wondering if anyone still has them and what my chances are of finding some if I make room for another tank with them in mind?.
 
I don't know of any in the UK, but there are certainly a few keepers of this species in the rest of Europe. You shouldn't have any problems getting some in the next few years.;)

    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?
