check to make sure it isn't sand/debris, if it is fungus go to Axolotls - Requirements & Water Conditions in Captivity and look into using holtfreters solution or modified solution, axolotls come from slight brackish high mineral environment, although lots of axolotls are more than happy in freshwater some become susceptible to fungus issues due to a lack of salt and minerals in the water.
Since the gill feathers look otherwise healthy, check also if these white spots on gills could be normal iridophores
(although it doesn't look like a typical golden albino)
Of course, I could be wrong
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?
