Caught a few pics of my paddletails the other day. I also have pics of my mature male and a younger one for comparison.

I have five Paddletails (all Labiatus) and they all get on well together, occaisionally they fight but only over food. in fact my two females and one of my males are beginning to feed out of my hand when i offer them prawns

My males are also showing signs of wanting to mate (they have swollen cloacas and papillae and are constantly waving their tales at the females) however the females do not seem to be receptive. is there any way i can encourage them to mate?

I have noticed that the temp, a constant low temp makes them chiil put, and swim together making some acrobacy, i live in the warm central america, and get a low temp is almost a nobel price goal for low prices.

    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?
