...I am questioning the species of this newt. This male P. chinesis is not as "warty" as the female. I am wondering if this is a different type of newt. I will post pics later.
 
Nevermind...HE is definately P. chinesis. After further investigation I decided he fits the qualifications to be "warty". His warts are more visible when he stays in the water.

Anyways...he has also discovered my female!!! Yesterday they spent the entire time staying away from eachother. When I turned on the tank light this moring they were together...not amplexus....just together.

My kids have named them "Brooke" and "Jordan"...or "Lola" and "Toejam"? I don't know...they change their minds every 20 seconds.

    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?
