I just got my first 2 axolotls 3 days ago. My mel axolotl is 3 inches and is very active, swims around, and eats good. My lucy axolotl is 2.5 inches I noticed it has a crooked spine and that was the first thing I noticed when I took them home. The lucy isn't as active, doesn't really swim around but she eats just as good as the mel. Will the crooked spine affect the lucy axolotl in any way? The breeder said it's going to straighten out in a few days but it's been 3 days and it hasn't.
 
Can you post a picture? And is it crooked up/down or side/side?

    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?
