My newt is about 5-6 in. long with a .5-1 inch long fluffy white spot on its tail. I tried to look up how to deal with this, but I could find only frustrating broadness. I put it in a covered container in the fridge at 42 degrees fahrenheight. But how are salt baths done? Please respond! I don't know why these guys are causing me so much trouble!
 
6g of salt to a litre of water. Leave the Newt in there for about 15mins.
 
He is now almost immobile: he cannot move his tail and barely move his torso. I have had him in the fridge all day, gave him a salt bath as instructed, and put him back in.

    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?
