Hello everyone! I am a brand-new member, and while looking through old posts I have not managed to find a concrete answer for the question that I came to ask. I am a preschool teacher, and our beloved class pet suddenly showed up covered in little white dots. They are three dimensional, and they are everywhere… since she is white, they are a bit tricky to see, but I will attach the pictures I took anyway. She is the only one who lives in her tank, she eats pellets, and her water gets changed regularly. It looks like it might be ich (ick) but I don't want to inadvertently harm her by misdiagnosing or mistreating. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be incredibly helpful. Thank you in advance! My class and our sweet axolotl really appreciate it.

    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?
