    Alpine round up

    Alpine newt rodeo in my shed this morning. I was expecting 50 or so but i found 114 with a few more waiting to morph. Bit smaller than i would have liked but i poisoned my daphnia tanks by overfeeding and wiped them out. Fortunately the mozzy population boomed, so they had plenty of food but its...

    Unethical breeding

    I work off the premise that somebody who breeds axolotls should only release fit and healthy individuals into the hobby. Unfortunately this is starting to become a minority view. For those of you with a sensitive and bunny hugging disposition please leave this thread now, never breed any...

    My golden mantella laid a few days ago so pulled a few clutches from their viv, found one clutch was just starting to hatch. This is my first attempt to raise them so fingers crossed.

    Breeding female axolotls under 18 months

    According to the care sheets on this site it is inadvisable to breed female axolotls before 18 months ( Axolotls - Breeding Axolotls Successfully ) as it may cause health problems. I have had a number of females breed before a year of age and have observed no problems, once a tank full of nine...

    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?
