I’m extremely worried about my Axolotl. I got two adult axolotls last year and a few days ago I got a baby Axolotl. He/she eats frozen plankton and loves them. But today I noticed that he has odd lumps on his stomach. I’ve never experienced this before so I have no ideas of what could be wrong.

He also is on half really fine sand and half bare bottom tank. Someone please help I really have began to get attached and I don’t want to lose him/her.

How big is the new axolotl? You don't want them on sand until they are at least 5 inches otherwise the sand can cause impaction. Attach a photo if you can. Sometimes my axolotls get a lumpy belly after eating but it goes away.

    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?
