The only thing I recommend is to not use iodized salt like the website says, use only non-iodized salts. Iodine is very toxic to axolotls and may kill or force it to undergo metamorphosis.
Another question I ask is whether your axolotl is him or her? He/She appears rather bloated and, if it isn't caused by a female's eggs; could be a sign of an internalized infection. This type of infection should only be treated by a qualified veterinarian.
Good luck to you and your axolotl, and may it hopefully make a swift recovery!
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?
