My Axolotl, Kirby, is about a month and a half old. he has been very active and doesn’t seem to look sick at all, but ive recently noticed that on the tip of his gill it’s turned white!! it doesnt look like fungus to me, just look like the tip of the gill has faded of any color, and it seems to kind of fall over like its almost dead. iq turned on my lights to try and get a better picture. please help me figure this out i dont want anything bad happening to him :(

because your axolotl is white it means that any small body part where there is a limited blood flow will also look white, this is due to their skin being semi-translucent, it is always a good idea to be aware of any fungal issues as the gill tips tend to be most susceptible.

    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?
