Hello guys.
I have tried too find some photos at marms natural habitat on google among others and have only come across one good that show how they can live, and i really want some more for inspiration too my next vivarium building.
So if you have any pictures please post them, that would be great.

Best regards.

Really interesting, those habitats differ quite a lot from where i used to find marms growing up in Dordogne (South Western France). I used to find them in a couple of vernal ponds that created between the roots of chestnuts trees in an established decideous forest, with "green slime" for only underwater vegetation (but a very deep layer of decaying leaves).

Sorry I haven't got picture, I'll try to take some next time I visit my folks, but it might not be before this summer.

    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?
