Sorry about the bad photos. But I have to show off this year's babies: N. strauchii and N. kaiseri. The kaiseri are being raised from someone else's eggs, I have no adults.

Some of the strauchii larvae this year are lighter colored, as the one in the foreground. I expect they will all turn out with the usual color, though.

As usual, nice lookin babies Jen. approx how old are they and what are the average lengths?
 
Gorgeous animals, Jen! I had no idea that you kept N. kaiseri. Did they prove difficult to cycle for breeding? Are they just plain difficult?
 
Gorgeous looking animals! I look forward to seeing morphlings!
 
The strauchii hatched around the end of March or early April, and they are around 1 to 1.5 inches. The kaiseri hatched March 10-14, and they are at least 2 inches and beginning to show the characteristic kaiseri colors.

I don't have any kaiseri adults, Abrahm. Someone else's eggs found their way to my door. But from what I hear, they aren't difficult to cycle; unlike strauchii, they don't even need to get particularly cold.

Thanks for the positive comments, though I don't think the photos are worth much praise, haha.
 
Those are some amazing animals Jen! You're lucky to have them;)
 
Go Jen! Good luck with the wee ones.

    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?
