I have had my water children, Briar and Lancelotl, for about 5 years now. They live in a 20 gal tank, fully cycled, live plants (a few pond snails here and there) and a single white cloud minnow who survived being eaten for 3 years. Their water parameters are ok (not perfect 0s across the board, but no ammonia). A tornado touched down and wrecked quite a bit of the city, stressing my axolotls out via vibrations and power outages that knocked my chiller offline. I generally keep the tank at 58°F, though it got up to 64 before the power came back on.
I noticed this odd, vein-like growth coming out of Lancelotls tail. :confused: Lance is leucistic so this odd red growth really stands out. This was not here a few days ago. Is this damage from thrashing about being scared?
I have attempted to attach an image, I hope it works! This is my first post.

Hard to see whats in the pic , from your description it just sounds like the axolotl bashed itself , its equivalent to a bruise. If youve got the water quality and temp back to normal it should be fine.

    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?
