Hello everyone.

A couple of days ago, my axolotls spawned. However, they are likely siblings and in that case, the eggs would be inbred. I'm not sure what to do. Should I cull them or are their people willing to raise them and not allow them to breed in the future? I need advice. Thanks.

Re: Inbred Eggs Avaible

Most people don't consider this a problem. Do a search on "inbreeding" on the forum.

    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?
