I've got two adults who are about 12" and 9" Male/Female.

I've got another lotl we "rescued" from a shop who is now about 6.5" in size.

I know he's a bit too small (certainly a he!) for now, but when he gets closer to adult size...what's the best way to introduce him and hopefully not have any lost limbs?
 
Hi,
I don't have too much experience with introducing new axolotls into a tank
but maybe a mesh tank divider could help? just a thought so they could
get used to seeing each other. Btw its great to see more people rescuing axolotls
from pet stores.

Good luck!

When its 10"+ drop it in the tank with the others, you dont need to introduce them like dogs etc

If people part with cash its a purchase not a rescue. Buying axolotls to save them from poor care in pet shops just encourages them to get more.

    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?
