I have had my axolotl for 4 months now and i noticed that on friday last week he developed a big white lump on the top of his head. I did a regular water change and cleaned the filter but this hasnt really done much. He isnt his usual self and has been hiding under his arch in the tank and not really swimming about much. He has never really begged for food but has been off his pellets and ive had to hand feed him blood worm which he has ate. What could this be im very worried?

    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?
