Cuttet

Hi, I just noticed that my Mrs. Hyde is having a small cut in her tail. It's not complete through but its a little bit bleeding. I suppose he cut herself somewhere on a deco in the aquarium. What do I need to do now ? She's looking find for the rest, walking around, eating etc....

Here's a pic from Mrs. Hyde tail.....
I already installed my second small aquarium, in case if you are telling me that I need to get her out for healing her, waiting for your help and advice ? Thanks

Mine had a cut like that. I left it alone. It healed on it's own. I've heard of some people putting aloe or some kind of stress coat in the water. I don't know what kind . If Mrs. Hyde is eating and acting fine I think it will heal on it own. But having the second tank ready to go is a good idea.

That's a nice slice...
I would recommend a drop of aloe oil, well mixed into the water. Make sure it's PURE oil, not essential.
However, I know a lot of keepers don't agree with using aloe, so use at your own discretion.
I've had a lot of success stories with it personally, and use it whenever one of my pets gets hurt.

    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?
