I caught 3 of my Pseudobranchus axanathus in a cluster tonight and had to share. They live in a 46 gallon tank and normally keep to themselves, but bloodworms bring them together;)

That first photo is hilarious! What kind of substrate do you keep them with?

Those aren't eggs in the tank, unfortunately.

They're on normal play sand with some larger rocks for hiding.

I hope so too. I'm surprised how fast they grew, the longest is about 7 inches now.

So if I'm to believe your photo, you have sand, add some rocks, a dash of water, and some bloodworms, and in 2-4 minutes, you'll sprout a cluster of sirens? lol.

Very nice Jake, thank you for sharing. (feel free to share more :p)
I would love to see this species available as CB in the future here in europe. Fascinating creatures indeed.

Awesome pictures! I like how they are all pointing different ways in the first picture in sort of a W shape.

    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?
