Hello folks! It has been a seriously chaotic few months here. All sorts of deaths in the family, the purchase and remodel of a new house, and the usual annual insanity of our busy season at work pushed me well over the edge quite a few times.

Somehow, through all that, I managed to remain vigilant in collecting data for my ongoing Neurergus kaiseri breeding project. I am now of the opinion that raising this species is much easier than actually breeding them.

So without further blather:

(I have included the Original breeding report and the Appendix here for simplicity sake.)

From what I know, the folks that have them have little trouble breeding them. In fact, a good amount of data I utilized throughout this endeavor was actually written for N. strauchii and N. microspilotus.

Let me state again that nothing I wrote is ground breaking or even confirmed as repeatable...yet. It will take at least 5 more years to confirm any of this convoluted blather. The real success will be F2 and beyond.

    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?
