Hi

We have noticed a strange growth on the gills of one of our axolotls. She seems fine, eating normally and would not think there was any problem with her apart from what you can see

Any help if you know what this is would be much appreciated

David

It's just a blood vessel - quite normal and it will disappear on its own.
 
Thankyou very much for your quick reply, very reassuring
 
Ditto if you need a second opinion for reassurance, my first axie had that, just a blood vessel that sticks out. Bear in mind if you were to handle the axolotl, don't be shocked if the vessel breaks, that can happen.

    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?
