Hey guys! I have a lucy axolotl named Allie, and decided to get another lucy. His name is Otis. They are both about the same size, and have a 20 gallon tank. Any tips on introducing them to each other? Things to avoid? Things to watch for?

The main thing to watch for is them nipping at each other, especially around meal time, sometimes your just need to feed them separately, especially if you aren't hand feeding them.

    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?
