Hello,
My 6 year old wild type, Smaug, has been losing colour over the last couple of months. He seems healthy otherwise, very frilly gills and eating/behaving normally. I've had him since he was a littleun. He used to be a brighter green and turned black as he matured which seems to be normal, but this seems odd.
Any ideas?
Also in the tank is Darwin who is a 7 year old leucistic. Her gills are much less frilly than they used to be but she is active and eats well so I'm not too concerned.

Wow! How odd! I haven't seen anything like it, I will hang around to see what other's say. Post the water conditions (temp, ammonia, nitrate and nitrite) in case that is contributing.

    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?
