I have 2 axolotls in a 20g long tank, a few days ago I noticed one had developed a large amount of of fungus. The other is completely clean/fine and remains in tank(after performing a large water change as a precaution). The affected has been isolated and was given a salt bath. I waited a day after the initial salt bath to see how she reacted, at this time I did not notice any redness, most fungus had disappeared. Today upon administering another salt bath I noticed large areas of redness and sores, there seems to be redness and a split in the tail. No live feeders have been used or any additional tankmates.

What is my best course of action?

    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?
