Omg, I was just vacuum my tank I have 8 three month old axies in. As, they are messy at this age. One of them darted like he was going to swim to the top as they sometimes do, and swam into my vaccume. I quickly turned the water direction back to fill, but it tore about a half inch of skin above his rear leg back so that the meat was exposed, and about an inch of his colon came out of his rectum. Omg, I separated him, in a 10 gallon tank with a bubbler, and put an ice pack in with him to keep him from bouncing around. He's been flicking his gills for about 5 hours. So, I know he's alive. What do I do. I have never had anything like this ever happen

    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?
