Post a picture of your favourite method for raising larvae. I know there is the sterile method and the pond water method, and that some people have found a medium somewhere in between. If you have any pictures of your larvae-rearing setups, or a method that's worked particularly well for you over something else, please share! I'm not 100% sure which method to choose/may do a bit of both, looking for some ideas.

I raise baby Cynops in set ups like this. They go in as eggs and stay there until they are old and big enough to go in with the adults. I just alter the water level to suit the part of their life cycle they're at at and do small weekly water changes, feed them and that's it.

    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?
