My axolotl is a wildtype, he is eating, walking, and swimming fine, in a 20 gal tall all to himself. But his gills appear to have a bright yellowish colored tip to each of them. He hasn't always had these, I'd say for a few months now now. He is about a year old. Is this normal? Pictures are kind of difficult to see, but they are the best I could do. Any help would be appreciated.

I couldnt see anything in the photos sorry. Im guessing it is his colouring. If it doesnt look like cotton wool then i would keep an eye on his water and diet and enjoy your friend.

    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?
