Hey :) I would like to share my success with my C.e.ensicauda breeding this year!
Around Christmas the female started laying eggs and so far not a single larva has died. However, they begin to show signs of territorial behaviour, so I have to give them even bigger tanks. How do you guys solve this problem?
1. Gravid female laying eggs and Male with a beginning breeding colour
2. larvae

Greetings
Sylvester

Congratulations on your success! Its nice to see someone keeping the nominate form rather than the more usual C. e popei.
Have you tried piling extra food in with the larvae? The C. pyrrhogaster larvae I raise get pretty snappy when they're hungry, but extra Daphnia or bloodworms usually keeps them placid.

    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?
