Funny, mine won´t touch the plastic strips xD
Congrats Dawn, it always makes me happy to see captive breeding of this species :)

By the way, it may take a while, but i´m on the article we talked about, be patient xD

I've been using the "dirty water" method, but this evening I made an effort to check my larvae and take a few pics. They all look alike so I'll just post one.
But they are really cute!

    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?
