Oh believe me I am! So far first things I think about when I wake up, and last things I think about going to sleep. Which would help since they are in my bedroom! lol

And they are sooo active. Constantly swimming laps around the tank. I love to just watch them.

Well, hubby likes to "freeze" while he is sleeping. Even though we have central AC we also have a window unit in the bedroom that keeps the room between 65-68 degrees, and I keep a fan blowing so the room is the coolest room in the house.

I know that color is only showing because they are still babies and it's the blood/food/etc. under their skin and will fade in time. But it's soooo pretty.

I'm so glad I was able to get them and found Alex here on the forums!

Update on my 3 Stooges! Picked up one of their albino siblings two weeks after I got the original 3.

They are getting bigger!!

Same container. :D

Wow, they've grown quite a bit! :)

That's just a temporary housing in that last picture, right? I see a tank in one of you're previous pictures, so just double checking. Axolotls need more room than what that container provides.

But, I have a hunch you just used the same container to show their growth progress :)

    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?
