I got my axolotl back in May and he was doing great. But, I’ve noticed that he has small black bumps on his feet, he’s an albino and about 8-9 inches long. What could this mean and is it serious? I do 20% water changes every week and take out poop or anything once I see it. The only things in the tank are sand (which is very fine) a few plants and a tiny ghost shrimp I got in September. I feed him a baby cricket every other day, but he has also been throwing that up. The only sign of stress I can see on him is a curved tail, but his gills aren’t curved forward. The parameters are good as well. I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE.

    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?
