Spotting on N. strauchii

Does the yellow spotting on N. strauchii increase with age or does it stay the same as when young?

Yes, they do increase especially on Neurergus strauchii strauchii (as juveniles they have more or less two rows of spots, as adults more and more spots appaer). In N. s. barani it only increases very little (two rows of spots stay more or less dominant) and they stay overal less spotted.

And in Neurergus crocatus this is even more pronounced and finally makes up for a very beautifull animal. I first adored the yellow orange strauchii strauchii coloration over the green yellow crocatus spots, but as they mature and get more of these colors and this in contrast with their orange belly makes up for a fantasticly colored species...

    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?
