My friend is building an outside pond. We have been thinking about putting axolotls in the pond. How hard is this? Would we be able to put koi and other fish in pond with it? We live in Tennessee, do you think that this is an appropriate climate? Thank you in advance.
 
I'm not sure how hard it would be but I'm guessing you'd have to cover the pond or do something else to prevent birds from getting to them. I don't think you'd be able to put anything besides minnows and guppies, fish wise but maybe shrimp or other in inverts would be ok. I'm not sure how Tennessee is climate wise but as long as the pond doesn't get over 72 F and is cool most of the year it should be fine.
 
You can't keep koi or anything else with axolotls. And you would need some kind of cover to protect them from other predatory wildlife.

    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?
