Now that I get the hang on it here's a shot on young juvenile H. nebulosus. Hope I haven't posted it before

Nice, Henk.

I suppose that juvie is CB but do you know where the adults are originally from? From what I'm told and from my own experience, the ones in the far west and south of Japan tend to have the yellow-tipped tails. Over the weekend, I saw some from central-western Japan (Hyogo Pref. I think) and they had no yellow whatsoever.

I'm raising two groups of juveniles -- both of them from western Japan (Fukuoka and Nagasaki prefectures) -- and they both have the yellow-tipped tails (the yellow with the latter being brighter than that with the former).

When it comes to eating, they can be real pigs

Unfortunatelly of this group I have no locality data. They came in as juveniles and I took some shots. Currently they are adult and have been breeding for the 2nd year. I intend to keep the offspring and elnarge the group.

Indeed the nebulosus is a strange and quite variable group...

    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?
