Dinky!
One of my juvies had been rather lacking in the "fluffy" department when it comes to gill filaments since the day I got her at 2 inches long - Until now that is! I thought she was your everyday wild type until a couple of weeks ago when her "fluffles" appeared out of no where over night! Nothing unusual about that, I know but...they're red like that of a luecistic and rather beautiful! I was wondering if this is quite an unusual colouring for a wild type or if it is, in fact, quite common? I've personally never seen colouring like it.
 
Both of my wildtypes have red gills. I've seen it pretty common both ways, but the red does look more striking.
 
It really is striking! Most of the wild types I've had have always had dark gills so it's a change, very pretty!

    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?
