Hi all

My Albino axie has been off her food lately and her gills have gone from bright pink to a very pale pink and ive noticed that she has red spots on them now. I have taken her out the communal tank and put her on her own, shes still active but am concerned that she not eaten. Ant Ideas??

Thanks

Her gills will sometimes look pale or pink depending on how much she has moved around. What kind of temperature has she been in? Also, posting a picture would be very helpful.

When I first open my curtains in my room my axies gills also look pretty pale. An hour later they are red. It depends on what they are doing I guess.

    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?
