So now he appears healthy but he still won't eat. Suggestions? He hasn't eaten in over a month from what I can tell. He is given food but he ain't eating. Pic attached to show weight. He is given pellets that a seller made. He has been given them since I have had him.

Considering he hasn't eaten for a month he is still looking very good. His stomach is around the same width as his head, which is the general rule for a healthy axolotl. I can understand your concern about the feeding though.

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
