hi all
i have a necturus, i saved from a pet shop.
he/she is almost 1' and was in very poor conditions with large cichlids in a tank with the temp 88F, now is in cold water(21C) and is doing very well and eating like a pig.
but my question is
he's almost 1' already and he's/she's been in warm water(88F) for so long now. can i low down the temp under 21C ??? i think it can be affected.
Thanks a lot

are you sure that what you have is a N. Maculosus? they are fairly rare in the pet trade.

    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?
