Whats going on with these red spots on him? Water levels are good, temp is a tad bit high but nothing dangerous.

If you are absolutely sure that water is good (ammonia and nitrites at 0 and nitrates at less than 40), it could be that this is some natural coloration. My golden has very tiny (even smaller than these) dots on his face that he started getting when he was around a year old (I don't know exactly how old he is, so this is an approximation). When did they develop? How quickly? Has anything happened recently that might have stressed it out (you moving to a new house, different water source, new pets, etc)?

You did mention though that the temperature is a little high; how high is it?

    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?
