Hey there, can anyone help me, I'd like hints/tips on axolotl photography. I have 4 beasties in a marine tank, the tank light can be turned on/off/made blue (pretty!). I'm rarely able to get a shot that's close up, or detailed, or half the time there's reflection on the glass..... Basically, I suck at photography, which is no good for my lovely 'lotls, who deserve to have their pictures plastered everywhere!!! :eek:

I think natural light is best, make sure the glass is clean and dry and no flash - dont need expensive setup :p

It's also cute to make them 'pose'. (If you put your hand above the water they look up and maybe other tricks to make them look/stand in a wanted direction)

    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?
