Raised as a larva, now in a planted tank with worms, springtails and woodlice. Growing fast, charming, shy pet.

We've had rain and flooding, and I found another in our cellar basement, covered in cat hair, dust and cobweb in the upper 'dry' area (I check for amphibians during floods).

Let it soak for a second in spring water, peeled the layer of 'fur' off, and she's as good as new. Now my smallmouth has a tank mate. I'm finding a ridiculous amount of small earthworms, and have an aquarium set up for breeding them too, so plenty of food over the winter.

    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?
