how old is he? black patterning is fairly common, but im not sure it happens so fast that you would notice it unless you watch and study them every day. im not sure about the disease thing, i havent come across any colouring diseases apart from that lady ages ago that had a axie get black on its cloaca when it was a albino.

    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?
