i think they would go more purple due to blood flow- need more blood to the gills in warmer temps so they can get more oxygen. good to hear you sorted her out- be careful with the water bottles though, you have to continuously rotate them as large temp fluctuations are more stressful than a stable high temp. also fill the bottles with dechlorinated water, a member on here recently lost a axie due to the bottles splitting and letting out the nasty water into its tank

    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?
