I found one of our axies with this spot on his tail this morning. He's also got what looks like maybe a crimp at the end? There were two small guppies in his tank and I saw one picking at it. The guppies have been removed but (and I hope the pictures come through) can anyone identify whether this is an infection or an injury? He's otherwise alone in a filtered ten gallon tank and still eating very well.

Doesn't quite look like fungus to me.

Hope someone else may be able to advise.

Could be a bit of an infection made worse by the fish.

    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?
