Help, my Axolotl has what I think is mouth rot. He caught it from another one that I bought and introduced to the tank. I have taken the sick one that I bought back to the store I got it from but now my previously healthy one is now very sick. His mouth is all white and flaking off and he is having problems staying on the bottom. I have lowered the water level so that he can touch the bottom and not get too stressed and I have been using Primafix and melafix as suggested by the pet store. I have been using these for 4 days and it does not seem to be helping. Any help would be appreciated.

    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?
