I found a red mass in my axie's tank this morning. It's hard and doesn't look like anything I've been feeding her.

Background info, Mudkip has no eyes so I've been handfeeding her trout worms. She gets one worm every other day, the worms are cut in half and I heatshock them because she gets scared otherwise. She didn't eat yesterday at all (just chewed one for two seconds and spit it out) or the time before that, but the one before that (5 days ago) she ate half a worm. She's in a 10 gallon tank and the temperature has been up because of the heat wave at around 75 for the past couple days but today and yesterday has been at 70. Also, I thought she wasn't eating because she needed to poop but she hasn't eaten even after pooping.

Any ideas on what it could be?

    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?
