Tail Reddening looks irritated?

My golden axolotl, toxic, has been doing fine for months but suddenly his tail started to redden. I am not sure if this is just a phase of his colors coming out since some piebald started to show on his face, but I´m still worried. Any information is welcome.

Have you checked the parameters for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH and temperature?

Does the reddening happen more after they are active or more just consistently red?

    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?
