This is my juvenile axolotl i got him around a month ago. he eats bloodworms (dried or frozen) and his tank temperature is 62 degrees. his rocks at the bottom are too big to eat,so I don't think hes impacted. this morning i realized his sides looked a little bigger than usual. He also has this black spot inside of him. this is the first time ive seen it. if anyone knows whats going on please let me know ASAP I love him so much I really hope hes okay

his name is meep

I"m not sure exactly what's going on, but I disagree that the rocks are too big to eat. Especially when he grows bigger.

    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?
