I noticed a strange white patch that popped up on my albino axolotl’s gills about two days ago. I don’t know if this is a fungus or something else. She isn’t showing any signs of stress like a curled tail or gills. I have her in a 20 gallon tanks and I clean it once a week. The water is approximately 65 degrees and the ammonia is less than .02 ppm. Any advice?

Has the white spot grown/spread at all?
Are there any sharp bits in the tank at all?

    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?
