I think my axolotl may have a lung infection, is there anyway i can treat this? My other axolotl died we think from a lung infection because her veins became very red and her mouth was larger than normal. My other axolotl looks the same but i cant see her veins because she is black.

You need to check your water. Ph, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, temp.
I'd suggest trying to find a vet who can treat axolotls if it's the same as last time.

It's most likely an issue with water quality. You can get kits to test it yourself or most aquatic shops can test your water, if not for free, for a small fee. They can also advise you on how to correct the problems in the water but it's usually just a case of better cleaning, more often. Bad water quality plays havoc with axolotl health and needs to be tested regularly.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
