This is my new leucistic baby! He's on bare bottom right now, but I plan to either cover it in river rocks (if I can get my hands on big enough rocks), or sand when he's big enough for it. I got him yesterday, and he was almost immediately interested in food! I'm feeding him on earthworms and pellets right now. I was surprised he took so quickly to the pellets! I also want to get my hands on bloodworms and other types of food to give him a varied diet.

He has so much personality! I'm in love. I've named him Seath (the Scaleless). Kudos if you get the reference ;).

    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?
