my lovely mudkip has always been my happy and rambunctious gal, and is rarely “down in the gills,” but i’ve noticed her slime coat appears to be damaged; pictures below. any idea why? we did have an ammonia spike recently, as she quite enjoys hiding her waste behind rocks and plants so i can’t clean it as effectively, but other than that i’m not sure why it would be this way. in the photo, there’s also some sand on her tail, so disregard that bit, but the area that is circled is cause for concern.
thank you

    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?
