How are you guys able to tell if your baby axies have passed on or are still okay? I have so many of them right now and a lot are very very active some not so much. I have one hatchling that I don’t think will make it because when it hatched its tail was fused at the middle and he can barely move, but how do you guys know if they are still alive or have passed on?

Wow, has no one replied? Sorry if it's a bit too late, but they should remain still until they've consumed all the yolk (the white stuff on their undersides)-- so 2-3 days.

    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?
