I'm not an expert in this and hopefully someone whose seen this before can offer better insight. I remember reading on one of these threads that sometimes bacteria on the bottom of the tank can cause axolotls to lose their toes? what is your water quality like?

I can't see any fungus, no need to treat it. The toes look like they have just regenerated funny after being lost or they just hatched like that.

    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?
