Hello All! I am Raven, from Leavenworth, Washington, USA. My oldest kid turned 16 this month, and after making them do all the research on proper care, feeding, housing, etc, We got them 2 axolotls. One is a Melanoid I think male and the other is a Golden Albino pretty sure female. They live in a 29 gallon planted tank in our living room. We have had so much fun just watching them be their silly little selves. I have been an avid keeper of tropical fish since my own childhood, and I also keep Dwarf African Frogs, so Axies aren't too big of a leap for us. I'm excited to join the caudata community. Thanks for being here!

    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?
