So I have a 5 year old wildtype axolotl, and for the last couple years he's been developing large patches of white/lack of color all across his body, extremely similar to others I've seen posting about this phenomenon. Does anyone know why this happens? Is it true that this is a common/regular thing that happens to some wildtype axolotls?

    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?
