I am very interested in getting a gfp axolotl, I am just unsure as to how hard they are to come by in the UK, I would also be intrigued to know if you breed a gfp with a leucistic axolotl would the offspring also be glow in the dark?

You cannot get GFP axies in Europe - they are illegal as a genetically modified organism.

GFP axolotls also only glow under a black light. They don't glow in the dark.

    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?
