White on gills.

It comes and goes every now and then, and it doesn't appear to affect them, but it does look like its eating the gills away. Were does it come from, and is it a major concearn? Thanks!
 
sounds fungal to me, too. It can be a major concern, especially if the Axo is already stressed. The solution is to keep the water clean, the temperature low, and to give the critter a nice cool salt soak when it occurs.

or you could try tetracycline, i used it for my mud puppy when i got it in the mail and she had a major fungal infection on her gills.

    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?
