They resemble bullfrog tadpoles
I got them from a park
They hatched literally the next day
Idk if bullfrogs are against the law to own
I do know they are invasive though
Will I go to jail?!

Check your state DNR web site. It will vary state to state.

But it sounds like you have a lot of new bullfrogs, which will require a lot of care and a lot of food. Bullfrogs get huge. Something to consider the next time you think about taking eggs/tadpoles out of the wild.

Well I actually took that into consideration
I also checked my state’s DNR
I know they get extremely large and I have seen that firsthand
Also all of them hatched in captivity (as I previously stated)
I also have enough food for all of them
I am accepting the responsibility of being their caretaker
Here in Oregon people even KILL bullfrogs
So in conclusion you have acted like I have no experience and did not really answer my question
Thanks anyways

    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?
