Gregarious and Neotonic_Jaymes gave me some eggs that hatched these beauties! They are about 5-6 days old.

Eggs a couple days after I brought them home:

Needless to say, I am overwhelmed by the cuteness! :D
There are more pics in my album, I didn't want to go picture happy in this post.
Do they look leucistic or is it too early to tell yet?

They are so small! Do you know if the parents were leucistic? I'm pretty terrible at identifying types this early on.

    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?
