Hi, My golden Albino axie, at some stage over night it jumped out of the tank, I have a tight fitting lid, but he seemed to escape at the corner where the lid is cut to pass through airlines etc.
I have no idea how long it has been out of the tank, but I'm assuming it was a while as his skin was very dry, and there a small blood streaks in his tail from the fall, there are no signs of serious damage, and as soon as I put him in water again he started swimming madly.
I've put him in the fridge at the moment, with a half dose of melafix to try and repair damage done to his slimecoat.
The axie is about 11 cm long and about 3.5 months old.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think you have done exactly the right things for him. I hope for the best.

I recommend black electrical tape or foam insulation material to cover gaps around lids.

    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?
