All of my ambystoma tigrinum have now left the water and are on land. All but one are feeding well. They morphed out at 6.5-8inches. Are these young adults already at this size? I have read that they can breed in thier first spring. I love them and they are starting to develop personalities. Well here are some pics:

Here is an update. They have developed better coloration since the last post. The camera brought out the yellow better than they look in person. I moved the seven of them to a 20 gallon long tank. It sounds cramped but I spot clean often and there is limited aggression to each other. They bite me when I spot clean or at any opportunity! Haha.

    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?
