Hi all! My little buddy Mugatu (age 11) is not looking so hot.
His head looks very swollen and he does not appear to be able to close his mouth. His gills are also looking even more sad than usual (they've been very sparse for about a year or 2 now)
We relocated his tank a few days ago and did a 50% water change.
Any ideas what could be going on or how I can help him?

A picture would be helpful for diagnosing the problem.

    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?
