We’ve had this baby axolotl for a couple weeks now, she’s about 1.5 inches long, maybe closer to 2 now. We’re keeping her in tubs while her future tank cycles, we do water changes twice a day and feed her twice a day as well. Her tank temperature stay at 56-58 F, we’ve seen her head change color a couple times? She’s a wild type and sometimes she looks paler than normal. However just now her entire body has turned almost translucent. Any ideas what might be causing this??
 
Also, we just tried to feed her, she ate and then spit everything out?? We have no idea what’s happening.
 
Hey, do you have any photos of this? That might help. Like, photos of not just the axolotl but the set up and everything you have the little critter in.

    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?
