<font color="ff6000">Very common in many salamanders. Are these Cynops pyrrhogaster or orientalis? I don't like changing surroundings to feed, so I suggest feeding each with tongs in different locations of the tank. You could slip each one a worm while the other isn't looking. You could also put separate piles of bloodworms or live worms in two parts of the tank and guide one to each. Usually frozen bloodworms defrosted in water will go all over the bottom, so each could have their own feast.</font>

    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?
