Ive owned Buttercup for a long time now and never had a health issue with her until now.

I think Buttercup has worms.
She has been eating pellets and garden worms for years with no issues.
I added some plants into her tank and she started eating them, I didn't think that would be a issue.
She started to get really fat and she is a pig so I didn't think much of it until today when I cleaned her tank.
There was a little red worm about 1 cm long, it didn't move until I poked it with the syphon.
I only found one so far.
Is it possible for them to get worms?
 
It is, but that's probably not it. Have a look through this article on tank critters.
 
I guess there would have been more than 1 if she did have worms.

Thanks for that link too Kaysie :)

    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?
