Are you able to post a picture of Mudkip ?

Does he share a tank with anything else and what are your water readings for ammonia, nitrate, nitrite ?

He has no thank mates.
I did a quick test (It's pretty late here now)
And nitrate and nitrite is 0 can't test ammonia with it but i think it is 0.

I don't see anything wrong with your axolotl.

The spots on the tail look like spots where the blood vessels are near the surface and therefore look redder than the surrounding flesh. And the spot on the face could be the same or a small injury.

    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?
