FBT SKIN COLORATION PROBLEM

Hey everyone. I have 4 FBT's in a 10 gallon and they recently began to become much darker. They don't see, to move around as much and their appetite has decreased a little bit. THe water is filtered and clean, and the tank temp is around 70ish F. Any suggestions?}}

How long have you had them? Is there any major change in the room that they live in?

I have had them in that tank for about a month. No major changes except for water changes. is this healthy?

hmm.. have you checked water for chlorine or other contaminants? it usually doesn't take them this long to get used to their new setup.. but that may be it too. do you have any pictures of your setup? that could also help too.

    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?
