Is this axolotl unhealthy?

That looks like a regular 10g to me, too :p
A lot of younger axies i've seen have been skinnier.. but that picture is not that great. Also, it took a while for my axolotl to put on any real weight until he got quite a bit bigger.
 
o_O really? My juvie axies are fat fat fat so I have a hard time understanding. True, it's not the skinniest I've seen, but I have a hard time believing the "perfectly healthy" statement with those photos.

Also, I'm really sad he's not feeding it a proper diet. Poor pup. Sidetrack: o_O is pup the correct terminology? It seems kind of fitting...
 
He looks a bit skinny, mine is a juvie and kinda skinny too though. Bit of feeding and he'll fatten up.
 
That's a ridiculous price for an axie and a 10 gallon tank.
 
That was exactly what I was thinking, Kaysie. $100 for a juvie? Bah I say.

    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?
