I've seen this phenomenon before in the case of an axoltl that was being sold on an auction site:

actually this one seems to have some difficulty shedding from those upper digits. i read an article (ugh -im not sure if i can relocate it...) that said it didnt require the cyst forms of those nematodes (i think they were nematodes -either way it was something that forms cysts) if the researchers implanted inert beads in the limb buds in crucial areas at crucial times then it would also result in deformities of the limbs (ie extra ones)...just a little oddity trivia there -not sure if it will win you anything on 'jepardy'
 
yeah-and they can always high 5 (or is it high 4?) even when walking.
 
That axolotl pic is actually quite funny. As if you couldnt tell which was the extra arm!

    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?
