My axie girl has a red 'lip' lately and it looks pretty odd and thick. She also has a little blister like thing but it looks like it's getting smaller. She eats normally and I don't see anything else that makes me worry. (Water parameters are also fine as well as the temp. and my other axies)

It's about 2,5 weeks like that now. Is it something to worry about or will it go away by itself?

maybe she ran into a wall and bruised her lip?
 
Hmm, it's pretty weird that it's still there for a while. I don't know what it is or if it's bad or not.
 
umm it looks similar to the problem your axie had with their tails... maybe there's still something irritating them
 
Right now it's not red anymore. It's exactly the same color as her skin, but still a little thick. Maybe it's getting better.
 
let's hope so :)

maybe it's just a scratch that will go away with some time

    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?
