Hey all. I have 5 sweet young axolotls (born last october) that are about 18 cm long. With my adults at 23 cm or so, they aren't quite there, but are getting close. I want to try breeding again and one of my males has a really swollen cloaca. How close do they need to be to full adult size to breed? Are first clutches usually successful?
 
Hi. They will, if capible choose breeding before reproducing so it is best to let them fully delvelop first to avoid problems with them and their young

    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?
