I would say definately a juvi.. It will be okay around another axxie as long as they're the same size, and plenty of food and hide space and floor space is supplied.

I might keep a separator in until they're comparable in length, but you could always just be very watchful, if they're well fed it may not be an issue

Some of those pebbles look like they may be small enough to cause problems with your axolotls. I'd take out any pebbles/rocks that aren't at least 1.5x their heads.

At least some of them look pretty small in the second picture...

yea they look small from above but I went through them all before i put them in. i think they may be on a weird angle because they are quite large

Some of them will pose a problem when your axolotls reach adult size. They really MUST be bigger than an adult axolotl's entire head, or they could be swallowed.

And they will trap waste products. Your tank could turn into a sewer! Are you using a test kit to check that your water is not polluted with ammonia and nitrite? This is really important.

Could you post the readings for
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate
Ph
Stating that your water is "perfect" isn't good enough! What are you using to judge it's quality?
Do you have liquid test kits & how often are you using them?
Water quality is definitely not something to be blasé about - its an exact science not visual guesswork!

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
