Newt getting shed help from fish

Hi, I saw something intriguing in my tank the other day. One of my pleuros was at the bottom of the tank, not moving and one of the goldfishes was pecking at it, like it was trying to eat something on it. The newt didn't move at all, just laid there, holding itself rigid. It went on for at least 4-5 minutes. I noticed the goldfish was getting a little flimsy stuff from the newt, specially around the back of the legs, it looked like molting left overs. I'm pretty sure that's what it was. (The newt isn't sick at all)
I just though I'd share this, it was a peculiar moment in my newt keeping experience.

    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?
