Dear Sirens growers, according to your experience and knowledge, what minimal temperature of the water would you advise for lesser (S.i.nettingi) and for dwarf (Pseudobranchus sp) sirens, during winter time, let's say for 2 months: 10,12,15C or more or less?
Thanks.

I think any temperature between 5-15 C would be low enough to simulate winter conditions for both species. I have kept both in outdoor tanks in north Florida where it reaches below freezing on occasion.

    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?
