Is Pinky abnormal? Should I be worried? When I got him he had no legs either, and they've grown back since I got him, but his gills never have :confused:

My Arthur hardly has any gills either,I have only had them a few months and they are starting to grow back,in their previous home they lived in a tiny tank so could be how he got his gills bitten off

    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?
