I recently converted my Northern Red’s tank to a paludarium and added a piece of driftwood that I’ve had lying around for years. I sanded it off and soaked it in water for a say before adding it to the tank. The wood was a bit too large for the tank, so I cut one end and put it in with my Slimies as a hide. I’ve noticed a bunch of white mold, but I’m assuming my isos and springtails will take care of that, but this pinkish/reddish bloom has also begun to pop up… Is this cause for concern/deep cleaning or is it

a sign of a healthy ecosystem?

    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?
