So my Ribbed newts are about 10-12 months old. I bought them together it is a male and a female. Thew grew since I had them but the past couple days them female is now much much bigger than the male. I have over fed them before. They got bloat, I helped them and learned my lesson. But this time it looks slightly different. And the male is fine. I have been feeding them normal for months now and that is fine. The female does not appear to be uncomfortable as she did when she had bloat.
Also. They are constantly in Amplexus. So I’m guessing now they are old enough to become gravid?

    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?
