My axolotl is ill. He has some strange tumor near his front right leg.I already visited the vet, but he could not help me because he does not know anything about axolotls. I put my axolotl in my fridge. He has been there for one week but it did not help. Please, help! I am attaching a photo of my axolotl.

Even if your vet knows little about axolotls, they should still be able to assess the lump. Find a vet willing to take a sample and determine what the lump is. That will dictate the best course of action. It could be anything from a tumor, an injury, a cyst, parasites, etc.

Your axie is quite thin, what are you feeding it?Earthworms are best and their tummy should be as wide as their head, if it isnt, feed them more :D
If you dont have any earthworms, Axie pellets or salmon pellets are good.

    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?
