Hello everyone! My name is edwintheowl, I just recently adopted my lovely girl Ursula, a female melanoid axolotl!

Ursula is about 7 inches long, with a lovely spattering of black spots on her dark gray body and beautiful purple gills! (Really, they are purple! Check out her photo album!)
Her white toe tips tell me she probably isn't going to surprise me with a gender crisis hopefully!
She was advertised as a violet melanoid, but in all honesty she is so unique in her coloration that I am really not sure what to call her as some of the silver dalmatians I have seen look a bit like her too! :rolleyes:

We are very excited to be new members of the forum!

    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?
