Hello all. Moving soon & extremely nervous to do so as I’ve never moved an aquarium. I have three axies one over two years old and the others a little over a year. No issues with tank or axies. I have a canister filter and a chiller. Sand substrate etc. I appreciate any and all advice guys! Looking to stress them as little as possible & not crash my system! Thanks!!

i would suggest tubbing the three of them, probably separately, for the drive there. i would drain the tank about halfway or more depending on how bumpy your ride will be, and place it on an even surface in the back of your car. keep the axolotls up front so you can monitor them and keep the ac on max (at least that’s what i do, especially in summertime heat)

    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?
