Hi. I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I recently bought a couple young ribbed newts from an on-line dealer. They were supposed to be nebulosus but upon receipt it was evident the leucistic one was actually waltl (see attached pictures). They are both growing quickly and look healthy (shedding almost every week). I feed them a diet of live bloodworms, dendrobaena worms and tubifex. Current size is around 12,5 and 14 cm.
As the smaller one turned out to be the wrong species I was wondering whether an expert in the forum could confirm whether or not the wild type one is indeed nebulosus (as it should be). Also, I would be grateful to have any insight on their sex (I don't know whether they are still too young for this but the seller said they are male and female)
Thank you.

    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?
