Hi everyone!
I have a concern about my axie, Afish. She is grown to full size, but she never seemed to heal like other axolotls. For example, when I got her as a baby, she was missing one toe, and she still is. I feel like this is unusual. She has a few mostly healed injuries, but my big concern is her gills. While I was traveling, I was not changing the water in her travel tank nearly as often as I should have and she lost some fronds from the tip of one of her gills. She breathes fine, but they haven't grown back at all! Of course I feel awful because I should've been paying more attention, but she doesn't seem to be overly bothered. Any advice?
 
Do you have a pic of Afish? Did you notice shortened limbs? Inability to regenerate properly is often a symptom of Short Toe Syndrome.
 
her limbs seem to be of reasonable and functional length. her tail fin is a bit raggedy and her tail is healed, but doesn't look like it used to. she's my little goober though!

    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?
