Hi, I have 3 axolotls in a 20 gallon tank (i know that is too small, but we’re upgrading to a 50 gallon) I have 2 females and 1 male. Each one is about a year old and 7 inches long, and my water temperature ranges from 58 degrees to 66 degrees. I want to start breeding my axolotls but have no idea what to do and if they are even ready, I do have a brine shrimp hatchery though. Any suggestions?

well first are they related? from the same breeder?
sex isnt guaranteed until 18 months of age

are you really ready to deal with hundreds of babies and keep them if you cant find homes?

    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?
