They need to ge a little bit bigger and they do get their crest during breeding season, but that can last (depending on the temperatures) for more than 3 months. T.dobrogicus can get mature within a year, at least my animals do, but you need to feed them well. I don't recommend breeding them within a year though, but it sure is possible.

    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?
