I just rescued a CFBN from a Walmart where someone had put it in a tank with Pacu's and Oscars. He is pretty beat up with legs/feet missing, part of his tail gone and a chunk missing at the base of his tail. All of the wounds are fresh. What do I need to do to save him? What is a good way to house him and treat the wounds?

No need to reply to this post. The little guy didn't make it through the night. I had him in a small carrier with wet plain white paper towel in the bottom and had dabbed his wounds with a q-tip dampened with Bactine. I believe he was just too traumatized to survive.

Poor little guy. I can't believe they let him suffer like that in Walmart. It is wonderful that you did rescue him and did what you could.

    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?
