I have a 6 month old black or wild type axolotl and i am giving him worms as his main diet. over the last 3 or 4 days he has got a big lump behind his back legs is this normal as they mature or is he sick
 
Could you maybe take a photo and show us ? It is possible it is male and what you are seeing is his cloaca. If you could add a photo we can confirm if this is the case :D
 
It's more than likely that he is just maturing and his cloaca has grown. I agree, post up a picture of him.

    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?
