Hey everybody, I need a little advice on my female Granulosa. She's been getting bigger since I got her, and Quagmire (the male I got with her) was constantly piggybacking her (hence the name) for the 1st week or so after I got them. She doesn't seem to be eating any more than Quagmire but she looks bigger. So is she incredibly gravid or rather fat? Btw these picts are from a few days ago and I will try to find older picts.

Oh wow...:D that's pretty sweet! I think I'm a little young to be a grandpa yet!:kill:

BTW I've read some other posts saying granulosa don't usually lay. Can anyone confirm, and would having a bellyfull of eggs affect her health at all?

    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?
