I have two tiger larvae, the smaller one is a light olive with lighter splotches. Over the last two days, his coloring has changed alot. His whole body has lightened up, the splotches are taking on a pale golden color and more are appearing. It also looks like his gills have shortened a bit but his tail is still flat.
Does this sound like he maybe starting to morph, how long can this take with a tiger?
 
Yes it sounds like it's morphing. It happens pretty fast. Sometimes feeding can be a bit challenging during the transition.
 
So far he is still eating like a champ. Guess I need to get a cage ready and put some more rocks in his tank for when he does come all the way out. Thanks:)
 
Good idead, thanks.

    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?
