Verrucosus Fungus on tail from climbing on a log using almond leaves treatment and raising temperature.
Any thing else to try

one thing i learned is DO NOT RAISE UR TEMP u will only stress out ur axolotl more, if any try to lowers ur temp fungus thrives in warm water and axolotls are prone to fungus. one thing i did and and saved my two albino axolotl in a salt bath for 10-15 min 3 times a day for 2 days, then place them in the fridge for about a week. if the promblem is not fixed then repeat, but dont wait to long like i did i lost 2 black axolotls before i did the salt bath. before doing anything i would search the salt bath method which u can easily find on this website

    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?
