Came back from Christmas with my family and found a large white mass on the top of one of my axolotls gills. Looks like a piece of a pellet landed on her gill almost. Please help.

How is this one going? Hard to tell from the pic but if it is fluffy it may be fungus. Daily salt baths should help if the issue is still there.

    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?
