I have had 4 Cynops cyanurus for 3 years now, I got them from a member here sexed as 2.2 and last year when I cycled them and had them reproduce I had two clear males, big showy blue tails and all, and two big plump egg laying females. This year after cycling them I have only one male and now three females! All 3 are laying eggs so I am quite suspicious of a sex change having occurred. I have seen it happen in notos before. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this.

    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?
