Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've had aquariums for several years now. I'm into breeding bettas, but randomly came across axolotls on the internet a few days ago. I'm looking to find a few online as they seem like great pets! This forum looks like it'll be perfect for research before I buy any axolotls!

Hello! With your fish keeping experience, you should have a leg up on axolotl care. They are really interesting animals and can provide a really awe inspiring display. This is definitely the place to read up on axolotls and to learn what you need and if you are ready. You'll want to start here at Axolotl.org. Don't be afraid of asking questions and welcome to the forums!

I should point out that Axolotl.org is Caudata.org's sister site and is run by the same man, John.

    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?
