Hey guys i got my axie about 2 months ago and he is a melanoid albino with golden spots.
He's about 5 months old, he's been eating VERY well and he's very chubby. Lately my other axie (Shadow) a melanoid blue died from weakness, i saw him at the shop and decided to attempt to save him but he didn't make it, he was only 3 months old.

After that i cycled my tank and ever since Pixi (the melanoid albino) has been inactive :/ he wouldn't swim as much (he used to be super hyper at times) he floats around and would only eat around 4 pellets a day when he would used to eat like.....10.
I'm quite worried cause he's such an angel and a fast grower, any ideas why he's being like this?

Your help is much appreciated thank you!
 
As axolotls get older they become very lazy and dont swim around as much. Adults also dont eat as often as juveniles.
 
But this happened all of a sudden :/

    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?
