I was thinking about this subspecies and i´ve had a surprising lack of luck finding info on their adult size (well, info in general, and i´ve been looking since the gods know when...). I´m prone to imagine a particular size, that turns out to be completely wrong in reality, so i thought i´d ask directly and get some reliable data.
I´m hugely interested in this subspecies and have been looking for some CB ones for ages with no luck (either too late or too poor...). I´m trying to prepare myself in the off chance of getting some one day by accumulating specific info, so if any of those who keep them can share the total sizes of their adults (Male/female comparison would be interesting), i would be thankful.
Cheers!

Blimey O_O
See? i always get it wrong xD I thought they were a bit over the size of a bernardezi.

Would you be so kind as to tell me the sizes of your other animals? I´d like to make an average idea.

Thank you very much, both of you :)

The female alfredschmidti pictured is 150mm long, which is the same size, maybe unsurprisingly, as my female bernadezi

    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?
