after all these years these guys (Cynops pyrrh.) know that if the BIG Hand appears from the Sky there will be FOOD!

(their tank looks a bit bare because I took some of the plant pots out to vacuum the gravel)

Looking good. I feed them much larger pieces (almost as long as they are themselves). OK, I have around 150 newts, so larger pieces is more time-saving ;)

Your newts are so well behaved! Mine usually react to the smell of food by swimming around headlessly and biting random body parts of each other :happy:

oh yes, mine do that too. Hand-feeding allows some control over the chaos! I cut these up because these worms are about 8 inches long, and if there's any piece sticking out of a newt's mouth the others will come and try to eat its head. They'll try to eat my fingers too if I stick them in there.

    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?
