Hi Huug,
how old are the smaller ones on your pictures? It looks they live aquatic like their parents. At what age/ size did they enter the water?

Hi Fabian, this is his cb '08 but I have raised some cb'09 larvae and kept it aquatic after morphing to, grows much better like this. Just put a stone in the tank where water is flowing over softly, this worked great for me. Works well for Triturus species and N.kaiseri to.
 
Hi Fabian,

Like Kenny said, they are cb08!
I have put them in an aquatic set up after one year.
The first year i raised them terrestrial.

Because they did so well in an aquatic set up, i decided to raise the next batch from 09 aquatic from the start.
 
Experients says, that the development in aquatic set-up is mostly fasetr than teresstrial. I try it with every species that could be held (correctly) aquatic to put the youngsters back to water as soon as possible.
Sometimes you have losts by drowning animals, so you have to very careful.

Good luck

Uwe
 
Thanks for your answers.
After years of raising my young granulosas terrestrial, I've tried it in an aquatic setup 2008 and ended in desaster. They were always climbing the glass and not eating. After a few death animals (i don't know ih they drown, but they ended lying dead in water), I changed to terrestrial setup but the remaining didn't recover.
Normally I put them back to an aquatic setup after about one year like Huug does.

Hi Fabian,

a year is a good time to bring back T.gran. to the water.

Other species as Triturus carnifex, alpestris or karelinii can be put back earlier.

See you

Uwe

    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?
