Hi all,
I have noticed a rather odd occurance with one of my Axolotls. I have 6 adults in a 120 gallon tank(had them for nearly 4 years) and I notice one of the natural colored(grey/brown) axies looks like it is changing its color and becoming lighter. I first noticed it on her head/snout and I thought it could be a fungus, but upon closer inspection, it looks more of an underlying change, rather than something affecting the top layers of skin. Anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?:confused:
 
Any changes to the tank, like a substrate change?
 
Not for quite some time. The tank has practically had a bare glass bottom for 2 years.
 
I'd post some pics but I have trouble getting a decent shot through aquarium glass with my camera due to the auto focus, and I don't know how to post them here.

    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?
