Hi,
I have 4 axalotls in a 6ft tank. Water parameters are (p.h 7
3, ammonia 0.25/ppm, nitrite 0, nitrate 5), i run 2 sponge filters for plenty of airation, hardly any flow.
Recently my 2 females lost the majority of the filaments on their gills. One doesnt seem to be affected, but the other ones tail is now shrinking too. Help please!!
I have attached pictures of the tank and before and after pics of my girl "alotl"

    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?
