Hello, my brothers new golden albino axolotl has silver-ish specks on his/her tail. He/she is about 5". He/she also has silver gills with red fluffy fringes. I am a little confused, is this normal? I have seen a few pictures like it but most are all gold. Can anyone give me more information ?

    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?
