Hi there,

Our girl is 9.5 years old, and this growth started as a brown spot about 18 months ago. It's started growing more rapidly in the past 3 months. Initial research suggested it was just pigmentation due to advancing age, but it's relative size and width definitely makes me think differently now.

Water parameters are all ok, bio filter all good. Still good appetite too.

Does anyone have any ideas about what the growth of, or experience of similar in axolotls of this age?

Thank you!
James

    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?
