I have had one dead Eurycea bislineata over the past weeks and one dead Desmognathus fuscus (different tanks) last week. With the dead Eurycea I didn't notice anything specific, but she was decayed (she died in the water and I didn't notice it for a few days later) With the Desmognathus I noticed that she could not move her legs at some point and that she had lost all of her toes, she died a few days later. This morning I noticed a Eurycea with a back foot that had rotten away too and he did not use it in a proper matter. I isolated this animal this morning before I went to work and put him in a small container with moss with Esha 2000 sprenkled over it.
What can I do to help this little critter???!!! And what should I do with the other inmates and tanks (Desmognathus and Eurycea) since I do not know if the others have catched this disease already.
So far I haven't seen anything wrong with the Cynopses and Pleurodelesen.

    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?
