Hi All, just wanted to share some pics of my 4 axolotls.

The two Golds are Consuela (female) and Sol (male). I have had them for about 9 months. They are a breeding pair and im currently rearing their babies.:happy:
The other two i have are:
A melanoid male who i couldn't help naming Django :violent:, and
A little Leucistic female I named Luna.
These two i have recently acquired in the last month. I orginally went to the pet shop to get one (Django) but decided to rescue Luna as well as she looked very underfed and like she was being bullied by the 3 other Axolotls in the display tank. She's missing some toes on 3 out of 4 legs but with some TLC in her new home i know she'll be much happier and eventually grow them back. She is so full of beans and cuddles up to Django often who almost seems annoyed whenever she does. Haha. makes for some fun tank watching.

Anyway, they've each got their own little personalities and im forever learning about them and Axolotls as a species.
Most satisfying hobby i'll ever have.;)

I'm glad there's people out there who don't just pick the "perfect" axies. I'm sure Luna appreciates her new loving home!

    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?
