As the topic says. So I have a pair of this wonderful species and they are currently maintained in an aquatic, heavily planted setup. The current water temp is 59 F. That all being said, I have done plenty of research on them and yet I seem to be missing something specific things that I would hope someone could answer for me.

I've done some sifting through the forums and have read the Caudata culture entry over and over. If I am to breed them, am I able to to keep them maintained aquatically all year round or do they need a terrestrial phase? Both newts are very active and I'm feeding them quite often.

    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?
