Traded away several of my H.nebulosus morphs and received these 3 larvae in return

which I was told were "rescued" from near a construction site. Seems their former habitat had all but disappeared when last checked

Exiting shots of a rare species Tim...I would be interested to follow the further development of the animals as they grow and become adult.

One of the two larvae has a broad tail with a nick in it (the one pictured directly above), while the other's tail is sharper:

Don't ask about the first one pictured way at the top of this thread. As I recently confessed to Henk, it morphed early and apparently drowned

I'm still kicking myself for not having prepared more than an artificial island. So I'm left with these two. Here's a frontal view of "Sharpie":

They're both morphing now. I've been watching them very carefully and taking precautions to prevent another accident. Interesting to see how dark they've become

    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?
