I posted last week about a black dot on my newt that didn't look so good.(http://www.caudata.org/forum/messages/7/75328.html?1167274255) I noticed yesterday that it had gone away, and that it's flesh in that area was slightly lighter than the rest of it's body. Today, I discovered this:

I've taken her/him out of the tank and is now in a small critter keeper container. I'm not sure what to do? Will it survive? At yesterday's feeding, it still ate the regular amount and activity level has been the same. Also, I've noticed that the black spots on it's body have gotten darker. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    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?
