Hi I'm still a bit new to this. Well my axie has a really thin gill and s/he has a missing gill. Also two of her toes are joined togoether but I don't think that is too much of a problem. And there are bits of white sorta stuff near the bottom of the tank.
btw I have pictures below.

The fluffy stuff is probably uneaten food or poo that has gone moldy. Remove it with a turkey baster. Try to remove uneaten food after 20 minutes or so.

The missing gill will grow back. The thin gill probably won't change. Just think of it as some more things that makes your axolotl unique.
 
The white thingy wouldn't be uneaten food because I feed my axie pellets and I used to feed it prawn but the bits I fed it weren't that big...
 
Pellets can go moldy, or be thrown up. Mold or mucus would cover it, and make the piece bigger than it was when eaten.

    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?
