Well I've wanted these for about 3 years, but I've always been waiting until I moved, as 7 tanks was my wife-mandated limit at the apartment. Now I have a 1500 sq ft basement all to myself so the sky is the limit for tanks! I have 4 little ones (2 albino 2 wild type) just arrived today. They're in a 40G breeder :)

I've been waiting around the same length of time as you for axolotls and I finally got some recently as well. I definitely understand the excitement! I wasn't sure if I'd ever find any here. The positive side is I was well prepared when I did find them because I had been lurking these forums during this time :p

Congrats and enjoy. They look like they're gonna be living a pretty sweet life :)

Both of the wild types are very green. I think it's accentuated by the darker brown sand. The plants look greener against that brown sand as well.

    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?
