I've recently noticed some skin discoloration on my Chinese fire belly newt. his behavior has been strange lately, not eating, not moving too much, he seems distressed in the water when last week he swam around with my other newts. I don't know what's wrong, and I was hoping someone could help me identify what's wrong with him.

Hmm, maybe I can try some other method to post it? Or maybe I can just message you and see if that works?

Is this a new animal?

Have a look at the following link as this may help :-

Yes, it's a new animal. I rescued it about 2 and a half weeks ago when I saw it running around a mall near the pet shop where it was being sold. I already checked those webpages but I'm still clueless as to what it is, and I'm afraid of giving him any treatments because I don't want to damage his skin or hurt him any further.

    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?
