Educating myself about Axolotls

Hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Jose, but my friends call me Joe. I am from Central Florida and I joined the forum in order to get prepared for potentially adopting an Axolotol.

I am a relatively new fishkeeper, 1 year in the hobby. My tank is a 46 gallon bow front with small community fish and live plants. I love the hobby. I have been captivated by Axolotls so I am flirting with the idea of getting one.

I am here to learn more about them and get prepared if I feel I will be able to provide what they need. I want my pets to have happy, healthy lives. If I go for it, It will take me a few months before I actually adopt one, which is good because I will be able to gather everything I need; tank, filter, decor and anything else that may be needed.

I will be reading and researching and I promise to use the Search function before posting questions.

Looking forward to learn a lot and maybe even help in the future.

Thank you!
Joe

    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?
