The older Lion-o gets the more personality she develops. Since mostly hand feeding prawns and setting up a more sheltered cave area, she's become more aggressive and prefers going for my fingers to the point all 3 half prawns were spat out. Nips as the gravel cleaner or anything that goes in the water she doesn't recognise the last few weeks.

Found her swimming around digging in the cave so I naturally thought she's hungry, drop in a block of blood worms. Instead she freezes for 15 minutes, bark/yawns, gestured head up, then walked backwards in to her cave quickly. Hasn't eaten the worms.

Could be a quirk but haven't found anything about the barking/yawn thing coupled with aggressive behaviour when choosing not to eat?

    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?
