One of my Axolotls is a 4-4.5 inch leucistic. I've had him for two months. He's pretty young and somewhat see-through. I've always noticed that he's been a little lumpy, but thought nothing of it. He eats regularly, acts happy, and poops regularly (I think). Anyway I posted this picture and someone started telling me I was taking care of him incorrectly and that he was too lumpy/not shaped right. Is this person right? I've attached some pictures of him for you to see. I also want to say he's noticably lumpier after eating. Am I overfeeding him? I feel really guilty :(

Here's a link to the album of pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7aXhxhaC1cpLNyGS2

    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?
