Hey, I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm a little worried about my axolotls. One of them, Wooper, has had a white substance on one of his gills for awhile, and I've been worried but I thought it wasn't that big of a deal, since it kept going away and coming back. This morning I saw that another one, Midas, had a small amount on his gill also. My final axolotl, Darwin, seems to be untouched. Anyways, I didn't know alot about axolotl disease but I've been researching- could it be Saprolengia? Should I dip them in seawater for 10 minutes, or something? Please help, and thanks in advance!

    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?
