Unusual tail growth

After moving my oldest axie into a larger tank it's started a second growth spurt; however something unusual seems to be happening with its tail. The top of the tail is growing faster then the bottom causing it to bend in a strange way:

If anybody knows what could be causing it, or if it's anything to worry about, please reply.
 
That exact same thing happened when our old axolotl had a growth spurt following a move to a new tank. Doesn't seem to bother him.
 
if its not worrying him i wouldnt worry about it. it could be genetics, or it could be a temporary thing and the bottom will catch up later. also i dont think they have 'growth spurts' as such, unless you had it in a extremly small tank, they tend to grow dispite the enviroment

    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?
