I have had that on my driftwood too, and it eventually went away. You could probably just scrub it off occasionally until it goes away! I don't think it's harmful

its a bacteria from what ive read, almost like an algae? shrimp or snails would eat it but its not harmful.... just ugly (i have a clump of this in my tank now too, its gross so i try and suck it off the wood when i do water changes)

    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?
