Hey all, I've noticed Etrigan has some redness around her mouth that is irritating her so much so that she has not eaten in a few days (3). Just wondered if these are just bruises or something more serious and how i can help her.

Sorry to hear that your axolotl is unwell. Unfortunately I've not seen anything like this before, and I hope that one of the more experienced keepers will be along soon to offer some advice.
Best of luck and please keep us posted.
 
For some reason I am unable to open the photo's, but from your description I suspect this may be stomatitis. This is a mouth infection that will need antibiotic treatment from a vet.

    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?
