In order for an axolotl to be classed as pied, what does it have to look like lol?? I have a young one with a full black head and a white body...the colours are getting more defined as he/she is getting older. Your thoughts please?

Piebald (or pied) animals are usually white animals with large patches of color. Yours sounds like a heavily colored leucistic.

    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?
