All axolotls gills are different. Especially if their gills got shrunk and then grew back, they can look pretty funny. My lotl has 1 gill that's bent and she's been like that since I got her. If the water parameters are good, temperature is good, and your axie is still eating good, I wouldn't worry about anything.

    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?
