Hey everyone I'm new on here. I have had my axolotyl Ponyo for 2 years now and the past 2 months I've noticed her bottom lip looks swollen. Not sure if she has always had this or if it's something to be concerned with. She eats daily earthworms and is acting normal. Please help don't know if I should be worried.

Pictures attached

Oh wow! The picture from below looks like it's under the surface of the skin, not inside the mouth. Though just check inside the mouth if you can in case there is any damage there.
It could be a cyst or tumor possibly? I'm not sure there is much you can other than seeing a vet.

    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?
