Since I put my axie in the tank, there has been a weird slime in there. I have literally had to clean out all of my filter and change the medium in it because the slime was choking it. it has this weird grey colour and has coated my tank. My axie seems fine but I am worried it may cause a problem. He is currently in a smaller tank (just under 2 foot) because I live in Australia and the weather has been really hot for this time of year and it is the only way I can keep my tank cool enough until my chiller arrives. I will be putting him in a larger tank when my chiller gets here and the tank is cycled!! My pH is slightly basic (around 7.2-7.4) and I have a medium in my filter which controls the ammonia and nitrates. I have been doing 30% water changes every week and I clean out all the leftover food everyday.

Does it get a lot of light? I'm wondering what's making it grow.

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
