Hey it's been a bit over a month since I de-gravelled my tank after worries that my newt had ingested rocks. He's been eating but he sort of "Swallows" quite a few times per mouthful, so i'm not sure if he keeps it down, and I'm wondering if by this point it's likely he's had a rock stuck in his system, or if I might be in the clear. Here's a video that I also have under paddle-tail, to see if there's any red flags in the setup, or the looks of the Labiatus.




Here is the same newt one month ago:

If he's eating and pooping i'd say you are in the clear, sounds like normal feeding to me, they are greedy and tend to take big mouthfuls.
 
great, as far as quantities how should i be feedign him? I've heard frequencies but not quantities, should i be lettign my newt stuff himself full or just giving him a tiny sprinking of blood worms, or peice of frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp w/e?

    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?
