Is it bad if your axie doesn't swim up for air? mine uses gills all the time.....:confused:
 
I've noticed now that mine's older and his gills are a little larger he doesn't go up for as much air as he used to. Perhaps your water is very oxygenated and your axie doesn't require it. Or they sneak up when you're not looking lol.

I drop worms around the tank to feed mine. He goes up for air so he can float around and sniff out his food. He seems to use gulping air more as a tool for hunting.
 
i do have a spray bar for my tank, so it is quite oxygenated, at the moment she is swimming into the tank wall lol :p

    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?
