Great photos! I am also at this stage with some marms(from Garrison). The funny thing is that they hatched during shipment so all I've done is pour some 20 or so(!) larvae into a rearing container.
 
don't be afraid to post up some pics.

Hows the raising going? Have you had any slip ups or is everything going as planned?
 
great actually. still got 6 and most have spots on their tails now. they also still have their front legs but no backs. when they get the rears and grow a lil more they are going into the other 10 gallon that has a lot more stuff in it and then the 55 gallon. whew!
 
Looks good, make sure to keep us posted.

Hope for the best chris. Its looking pretty good so far. That is a funny pic, as it seems the bloodworm is about 1/3 of his actual length lol
 
It looks like the larvae is sticking out a large tounge.
 
one passed away today not sure why but he was one of the smallest of the bunch. maybe he didn't eat.
 
here is a good pic of 3 of them at feeding time. as you can see they have black/blue spots on thier tails and some have small rear legs and are starting to swim more like a newt.

it seems i have 4 big ones and one smally. i looked at his stomach and saw no food but his buddys were fat as hell. so i isolated him and imma keep an eye on him.....feed him seperatly for now.

since they got rear leggs now i moved the four to a deeper tank with a submerged piece of wood with java moss growing on it, some elodea(gonna get more today) and a low powered air pump. the other one is still isolated and being fed well so he can catch up to the others.

    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?
