H, my name is Diane Cardwerr and have had many axolotls over the years. I love them alot. The 2 I have now I've had since they were Itty bitty. Just recently I noticed my dark colored one has developed a round black spot over his eye.makes him look like a pirate. Nobody seems to know if it's a problem or if it has something that will hurt or kill him. Please if anyone knows what's happening to him I would greatly appreciate the help. He seems alright as far as his health. He eats good and doesn't seem to be in distress.
Thank you for any help.
A lover of Axolotls Diane Cardwell.

Hi, welcome to the site! :)

A picture would help, but I have seen dark/black areas appear on my dark/wild type axies in the past and never known it cause problems. I don't honestly know what causes it though.

    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?
