I don't know if this is fungus, disease or nothing to worry about, so I just want to make sure that if I don't treat and she won't become really sick.

It's not stringy, its just looks like her tail lost pigmentation. She is in a 20 long turtle tank by herself. She had it when I picked her up from her mom's it doesn't seem to be growing in size. Her tank is 68. Voracious appetite still. She is 11".

Should I be worried? Or what should I do.

Don't worry! It just looks like its tail is starting to grow back.

    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?
