Sorry if the picture is hard to read, she’s hard to get a picture of. She has a new white spot on her head, but there’s no ammonia in her tank and her temperature and ph are fine. Her appetite is unchanged but the spot appears to have gotten bigger. She does change from black to gold speckles so I’m wondering if this is even fungus. What should I do?

I wouldn't worry about it, it looks like just some clusters of iridiphores (shiny pigment). Very pretty!

Fungus tends to be white/greyish and will be raised and cotton-looking.

    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?
