My poor axolotl cosmic will have to be be put to sleep... he cant put his back legs down at all now and hasnt eaten for 2/3 weeks
My question is do i take him to the vet and stress him to be euthanized or is there a way we can do it at home?
Also my other one apollo has been with him since birth can i introduce another one in the tank or is that not a good idea? He missed cosmic when he was in the fridge for a week....

    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?
