Hi

Okay yet another question!! :)

I have started to notice that my axolotls are getting red patches towards there underside on there tail.

Is this normal or is there somthing wrong?

I am doing 100% waer changes everyday with cycled water from the tank that is waiting for them to go into.

they seem to be eating alot so i dont think there is a problem there and all of the water parramiters are okay.

I have attached pics! one of which shows it pretty good...

Any help greatly appriciated!

Thanks
=DS=

The only red patches I can see are either food passing through the gut or organs forming. Neither of which are anything to worry about. If I'm missing something then maybe a more detailed photo might help.

Everything appears normal to me. That's exactly what my Axolotl larvae look like and they are perfectly healthy. It's just them "using the restroom." Lol
 
Thanks for the replys! I'm jus abit paranoid as they are my first axies lol

But it sounds like ur right!!
 
I know. Lol i am the same way about mine. ( also first babies) :) I love to watch them eat. Especially now that they have come to realize that they have hands.

    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?
