Hello,
I am new to the forum and was wondering if someone could help me with a query regarding my Axoloti. Denzel is just over 6 months old now and a happy little thing, eats well and is lively and inquisitive. I have noticed a few white looking bumps/patches under his belly and I am worried it maybe fungal infection. His tank is always spotless with no old food or algae in the tank to make the water go off. His tank is bare bottom with a couple of real plants and a couple of plastic ones which are soft to tough so he can't catch his skin. There is no sign of any patches anywhere else on his body, i'll try to attach a couple of pictures, 1 of him at a normal angle and 1 of his belly. I don't want to have to put him through fridging and salt baths if I don't have to as I know he'll hate it.
I appreciate any advice.
Teresa

    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?
