I've recently had a fungus problem with my axie.. fungus started growing on his gills, so I immediately isolated him in another tank. I was doing salt baths 2 times a day for 10 minutes, using 1L of water and 2 tsps of un-iodized sea salt salt. The fungus is mostly gone now but I have noticed little red spots now all over the length of his tail. I do not think it is an ammonia burn because I've tested the water and ammonia levels are very low. I have been changing the water twice a day as well, so he is never in dirty water. Is this another infection? Or just a temporary result of the salt baths? I'm so worried for him!

    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?
