This species is one of my favorites! Yours looks really nice and fat.

Beautiful terrarium set up, too.

That is a beautiful species and a beautiful set-up. I think those are good pics, excellent considering they came from a phone. What phone do you have?

Phone camera - surprising huh! My son took the "close-up" pic with his enVTouch (LG) and I took the others with an LG-ux9200m. THe enVTouch takes much better pics.

The tank is 10g. Indigenous plants are used (except for the ivy which I don't think is pictured), and madrona wood. I am trying to get a decent full tank shot, but since it is old and scratched it just isn't working out. I have several large tanks which I will design/furnish this spring. A friend of mine cut down a huge madrona tree and I was fortunate enough to get to pick out some choice pieces - and I mean "choice"!!!! Can't wait to use them for my future terrarium set-ups! So glad that you all are enjoying the amateur pics. :tongue:

The "racing stripe" is what draws me to this species so much.:D Anywho, great looking specimen. I might have missed it but do you just have the one in there?

    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?
