During feeding today I noticed one toe had something on it. It’s the the same color as his skin. Any clues or suggestions to what it might be would be greatly appreciated.

SideNote : about 4 days ago, his tank mate did pass , and we weren’t really aware of the reason. But we didn’t notice any growths on that axolotl .

Hard to say what that is but it could be a fungus or columnaris. I would give the animal a salt bath regimen (look on https://www.caudata.org/cc) and see how if this changes in a few days.

    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?
