I have a female melanoid and male leucistic in a 55 G tank with plenty of hiding spaces. I just fed them yesterday, and noticed just tonight that my female has a white film on her gills. The male seems to be fine so far. It looks more slime like than it does like cotton.

Is a salt bath in order? Maybe just a fridging?

    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?
