I've had my baby axolotl for a little over a month now, he is about 3 inches long, eating great, and in a bare bottom tank all by himself. I've noticed that over the past week, the gills on his left side have started to get shorter an slightly less fluffy. They aren't curled and neither is his tail. The only water movement in this tank is a steady drip of a homemade chiller that keeps his tank around 15C. I tried taking pictures but the difference in size wouldn't show up good. As I said, he is eating and acting perfectly normal, and has been since I got him.
Thank you.

    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?
