I have a 6 month old axie and I always have trouble making sure he has full heathy gills. The water is a good temp and clean. His gills always seem to look a bit stubby. What should I do?

It could just be a genetic thing. Have they changed at all over time? Can you add some pictures?

I dont think it could be genetic because at times they look better and then they get worse.

    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?
