I have found at least 2 very small white worms on the glass of my axie tank. they are about 1/2 inch big. Should I be worried? I can barely see them but the definatly move like a worm.

Hi Greg31, these worms are not to worry about, cannot harm your axie. They are pretty normal to have. Make sure you always clean you're tank to a good standard, and you should be fine. :eek:

Thanks for the reminder. Should have looked there first. Turns out I have a few limpets. Where do they come from?

All sorts of places, although live plants are the primary source.Aquatic wood from the aquarium shop is another. Certain types of live feeders are a possibility too.

    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?
