Hi im bec. 3 weeks ago i took over 2 lovely axis that didnt have the best life at their old home. Saving up for a bigger tank for them. Super animal lover. Theyve both gotten plumper, now eat live food and slowly their gills are getting lusher. Also all the aggression they were displaying has stopped. I could watch them all day. Got all the hidy holes and sandy substrate they could want and plan to move tanks as soon as able.

Theyre about a year old but only about 2 inches long. I just feel theyre so small! im investing alot of tome and what money i have in to making their lives better. Just worried theyll always be wee!

    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?
