Is it supposed to be so thick? my other axies all have fairly thin 'fins' on their tails. I just noticed that the whole underside of Valentines tail is pretty thick. Shes chunky too. Is this just a sign that I have a fat axolotl or could this be bloat or something?

If your axolotl was bloated i dont think you would notice it in the tail. It could be overweight?
 
I've heard that with bloated axies, they start to retain fluid in lots of weird places, neck, torso, legs, tail, etc. I figured I'd ask here just in case and see if this is something to be concerned about .
 
Personally i wouldnt stress about it but thats my opinion. someone will know better then i will about it

    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?
