So I came home today and checked on my to axies, I immediately saw that my wildtype has a small patch on hiss gill that is white. At first I thought it was fungus but on closer inspection it seemed that he had no feathery bits on it. Please help, I was thinking a salt bath, or fridging but I'd like to know what you think.
P.s I can't get pictures but it is just a patch at the top of his gill with no feathery frills on it.
 
I think it is fungus, he has some white looking stuff on some other gills.
 
Is it fluffy? if yes, then it's probably fungus - fungus can cause fronds to fall off, especailly if the axie has tried to scratch it. Even if it doesn't look fluffy it could be a fungal infection but the fungus has fallen off, leaving white healing skin on the gill.

Give it until tomorrow and see if any fluffyness develops, if it does try salt batch, if not just keep an eye on it.
 
Okay, some bits look fluffy some don't, I'll wait until tomorrow and see what happens.

    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?
