My newt Jordan died a while ago.

Her arms disentagrated slowly and see apeared to shed her skin. I was told it sounded like it was funges so i got this medicene stuff called myaxzin or somthing like that when it had died. got it to late, but my other newt survived.

Was it fungus?

Rotting limbs and abnormal shedding are common symptoms. I would call it "Pet Shop Newt Syndrome". These guys endure so much torture during export/wholesale/sale it's a wonder any survive.

    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?
