Yes,I have read it, theres no real good information on breeding, but really in rearing the larvae. I know most of the basic facts but I like being sure of eveything before i go and try so i know what I am doing.

What exactly are you looking for with regard to breeding? Not everything is known about marbled captive breeding (like why they will breed one year and not another when the conditions are the same or the precise temps needed, etc.) so you're a bit stuck. The author of that care sheet has bred them and that's the best care sheet for them that currently exists. Ambystomas are a tricky genus to breed and you're simply not going to be able to be sure of everything. All you can do is set it up as best as possible, and that care sheet is your best guide.

    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?
