Hey guys! So I am new to life as an axolotl mother and I am not sure what is normal and what is not so I am here for help! I currently have a juvenile axi, named Jasper, who is still tubbed as I am waiting for the tank to finish cycling and every morning when i check on him his gills are BRIGHT red. It is only in the mornings the rest of the time his gills are a dark red/black color. Is this normal?! I know they get brighter when they are active so is he just acting crazy at night? The water is around 62F and I have been doing 100% water changes daily with treated water. Am I worried over nothing?!

Bright Red Gills?!

I think they look great. You can do a search on "gills" and find a ton of information.
- No one is chatting at the moment.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
