That last one seems to have a beard. It looks like a fungus indeed, but not one I've seen before.

The animals look in excellent condition but I would be worried if they were in my tanks with that fungus. To the op , Do they typically have this all year round ? Have you seen any dead ones or read reports of die offs ?

I noticed it on animals in the spring 2016 for first time and I cannot tell if they have it year round because I can observe animals only in the spring and early summer. Later is much more difficult because of dense vegetation.
I havn't seen any specimen in visibly bad condition all of them looked like those on the photo. To me it looks like a "cosmetic" issue. Truly these animals were not very photogenic.

I'm not sure if it's related, but I was reading this page on Amphibiaweb and thought of this thread straight away. Unfortunately there's no pics of the "lichen like" growths, but it sounds very similar.

Difficult to tell from the photo, but maybe it is not fungus but a colony of vorticella.
Those often settle on snails, shells, shrimps or crayfish. I haven't seen them colonizing a newt's skin yet, but they can settle on any suitable surface.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

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
