Hello! I just got my first Axolotl 3 weeks ago, I was wondering if that is a fungus or something since it was sticking on my Axolotl's face for awhile though I do water changes once a week.

it doesnt stressing him but I don't really know and it stressing me away, kind of worried if I do a bad treatment or else, the question is, is that a fungus on his left eye?

how to get rid of it? salt bath? there is one on it's cheek before but I pulled it out while feeling bad over it. and this one is too close with his eye.

Can't tell if it's fungus from that photo but if it's fungal or bacterial, the usual first approach is salt baths.

    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?
