The methods for raising salamanders at home are: water quality, water temperature, food, environment, etc.

1. Water quality

It is better to use running water for breeding. If you use tap water, it needs to be left for 3-5 days before use. Otherwise, the chlorine retained in the tap water may cause poisoning of giant salamanders. die. Therefore, changing the water of domestic giant salamanders is a regular management task. When necessary, the water quality can be kept fresh and clean, which is conducive to the normal life of the salamander; change the water every 2-3 weeks in winter and every 3-5 days in other seasons.

2. Water temperature

The water temperature for breeding must be appropriate. According to many years of observation, the most suitable water temperature for the growth of giant salamander is 16~22℃. If the water temperature exceeds 26°C, the growth of the giant salamander will be affected, and too high a temperature will lead to the death of the giant salamander. If the ambient temperature and water temperature are too low, the effective growth time of the giant salamander will be short and the growth rate will be slow.

3. Food

It is best to feed live food. For example: small fish, shrimps, or animal offal and other bait can be fed, but the bait must be fresh. The data itself estimates that the food intake of salamanders varies. Therefore, artificially bred salamanders should pay attention to observation and feed feed regularly, quantitatively and balancedly according to the water temperature, weather and the food intake of salamanders to promote the healthy growth of salamanders.

4. Environment

Salmon fish can be raised in a large glass fish tank to facilitate observation of their activities; generally do not use strong light, only keep low light or no light. Some washed gravel can be spread at the bottom of the tank, 30 cm deep pool or well water can be poured into it, and a small amount of hornweed and other aquatic plants can be added to create an ecological environment similar to the capture site. Sand and gravel can absorb dirt; aquatic plants can carry out photosynthesis, increase the oxygen content in the water, and are used by giant salamanders to spawn.
