Hi, I am new to raising newts from eggs. I acquired some kaiser newt eggs earlier this year, long story short I have 2 newts approximately 7.5cm in two separate planted tubs. Both still have there gills. My question is i know the larvae can cannibalize, when is it safe/safer to put these two together. It was a challenge raising them from eggs and are both doing great so i would hate to lose one over putting them together prematurely.
Thank you,
Brant

    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?
