Finally some pictures of my two, I caught them getting friendly in the corner of the tank and whipped my phone camera out :D

Axel the strange colour changing wildtype and Lottie the leucistic (though I'm unsure of the sex!)

I'm guessing Lottie is female, black fingertips means sexually mature and the cloatia is quite small. Harder to tell the fingertips on axel cause he's changing colour :/ but the cloatia looks slightly larger.

Also, I'm not sure what the moss I have in there is called, the guy in my LFS said it's not Java, it's something else that's more suited to cold water, but I can't remember what he said! It was cheap anyway, £1 a bag whereas Java is more like £5 for a smaller amount.
 
Very beautiful axolotls!!! :love:

    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?
