Hi Redtigrinus,
You have some great looking
axies. Very cute.
Cheers,
Chris.
 
Beautiful looking axies.

The tank however is very small for four axies and very barren.

You need about 18" of tank space for each axie nominally. they also need places to hide, caves plants etc.

If this is your permanent setup it would need some developing the tanks section of this site has some very cool setups.

Also your axies are showing signs of stress. forward pointing gills have a look at www.axolotl.org it has helpful advise about the causes and sollutions.

Best of luck
 
I just had them in there for picture purposes. I keep them in groups of 4-6 in 40 gallon tubs.

    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?
