Hi Guys,
I noticed late last night that my Axolotl has a small nick/tear in this tail. He's about 4 inches long, and the tear is about 4mm on the underside of the tail fin.
I understand It will heal and grow back, was wondering if there is anything in my set up I need to change or look out for.
The axolotl is the only inhabitant of the tank.
I have a sand base, with two plastic plants and a cave type ornament.
There is a thermometer and a filter, with a guard over the intake pipe, and is set very low with the valve near enough closed to avoid any gill related injury.
I'm guessing he's been swimming about in the dark and caught it on the cave, although there aren't really any sharp edges.
Anyone got an explanation?
Is there any thing I can do to speed up recovery?
Thanks,
Jordan
