My axolotl appears to have a little cut on its tail. I think he got it when i moved a log he was by, so I could get some waste out from under there. Anyway its very small and he seems fine but is there anything I could do to help him other than keep the water clean?

Hiya. Just keep an eye out for any fungus that might turn up on the cut. And do salt baths if fungus does appear. Mel

    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?
