My firebelly newt over the last week has developed something on his eye - it looks white and I believe he is unable to see put of it at all now. I've attached some picture - one of the good eye and one of the bad eye. Any idea what it is? He is north of 25 years old now so he's a senior citizen.

Would love to hear your thoughts as to what this is and how I may be able to help him if at all

I think a this point I'm going to consider salt bath I don't know how what else I can do I just hope it's not going to hurt him
 
Sorry I don’t have any advice to help, but best of luck. Hope he will be ok.

    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?
