Illness/Sickness: I think my axolotl has fungus

Do you mean the white on the ends of the toes?
If so then that is not fungus. As axolotls mature their toe tips change colour. The light axis get dark toe tips and the dark axis get light toe tips. Perfectly normal.
Fungus is more fluffy in appearance, like cotton wool.

Ah, sorry about the misunderstanding. I think that the white patches on his tail are also just markings. Check to see if they are flat or fluffy. If they are flat I'd say it's his markings. If they are raised and fluffy then it is fungus. Please let us know and we can offer more advice as required.

Personally that doesn't look like fungus to me at all. I would say it is just his markings showing up as he gets a little older. He looks perfectly healthy to me!
Thank you!

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
