So I raised a batch of axolotl eggs in the early spring of 2016. It was successful and I have kept one for my self. He is a male and has recently developed the dark toe tips which indicate sexual maturity. However I have also noticed white/pink spots around his gills, mainly on the lowest Gill either side. I thought initially it was fungus but since looking on Google at axolotl fungus, I do not think it looks quite the same. Before I begin any treatment on him, I was wondering if anyone would be able to identify this and point me in the right direction. I have included some pictures of the patches also. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! ?

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
