My newt will not eat and is dying, I noticed there is a spot on his mouth/nose that is white? I have another newt in the tank with him and I am afraid that the dying newt has a disease. Is this a sign of an illness?
Thank you!
 
Firebelly newts are often imported in terrible conditions. The white spot is probably a necrotizing bacteria. Since your newt already has 'the shine', I really would consider euthanizing it.

    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?
