So i was cleaning up my tank and accidentally spooked my axolotl and he ran right into a piece of driftwood pretty hard. The wood is pretty soft and I keep it scrubbed to keep it worn down but I noticed a dark spot right after on his face and think he might have a splinter stuck in his slime coat. I tried to brush it off but it didnt budge and was wondering if this is something I should be worried about. Theres no blood or anything and he didnt flinch when I brushed it which leads me to believe it didnt go in deep.
 
It might be bruise if you axie hit the would really hard but don't take my word.
 
I think it was just something stuck to his slime coat after he hit it. It took about two days but whatever it was is gone now and I dont see wounds.

    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?
