My axolotl buying experience in the US

Hi All----I just wanted to let you know about my experience purchasing in the US. I bought my first axo from Niles Biological. Axl Bubba arrived in good health and is thriving.

I recently purchased Forrest from Ward's Scientific. He looked healthy when he arrived, but fungus appeared the next day. I did salt baths and refrigeration, but he only lived 4 days.

I received my replacement axo from Ward's today. It was dead on arrival. Upon inspection, I noticed that it was covered with fungus. I have contacted the company again and asked for a refund. I asked them to treat the remaining axo's, but I doubt they will. WHY they would send them out in such poor condition, I have no idea.

Just thought you might like some feedback.

    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?
