Hi, most of my baby axolotls have a small red dot on their necks. I don't know what it is. I will get photos soon. Its right on their necks. PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks, Aristole.:wink:
 
Are you sure it's not just their internal organs. One of mine seemed to have its heart almost in its head as a baby but is now a hefty Juvie
 
It could be the heart. You can see it especially if you flip them on their backs right about where you could say their neck is - between the two sets of gills. If you watch it closely you can even see the heart bumping and blood moving. There's a nice picture somewhere on axolotl.org where you can see some of the internal organs drawn on a picture of an axolotl.
 
Ok then. It must be their heart because it's been like 2 weeks with no deaths.
 
Most of My light colored babies have the red dot to. It's just internal organs. :happy:

    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?
