Hi, its Lisa here, i am worried about my 2 golden axolotls, There skin has turned really pink and has white fluff on there skin, one of them looks so sore that his skin is splitting near the spine well top of back i don't know what to do as i have gave them a good clean out, been giving them water changes to lower the temp with Putting ice blocks in there water, I think it could be stress related due to the weather changes we keep having, I would put them in the fridge but theres already another axolotl in there at the min as she stopped eating and going for a poop and was losing a lot of weight but now she is doing really well and eating and putting weight on again but don't want to put her back in with the girls till the weather is stable and a bit more cooler,but would really like to put the goldies in the fridge cause they look really sore, the other problem is that the fridge isn't bigger noth for 3 of them any suggestions would be good.

Thanks Lisa.

Hi Lisa

Could you possibly post a photo of your axies and the "white stuff" they have on them?

Also, what are your water parameters and temp?

    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?
