Unknown illness on Albino ACF

Sorry I can't read the descriptions but if the pictures are accurate then it is possibly a septicemia (which could be red leg). If it is red leg, then it is possible for the survivial to be measured in hours without immediate medical care.
However I can thing of at least one other possibility, is there an aquarium heater in the tank that the frog can contact or rest on?

Hello,
IMO the symmetry of the red areas is speaking against heaters.

Thanks for your answer.

Bye Martin

    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?
