Hi, This my first time posting on here ,although it has become my nightly bedtime reading since I unexpectedly ended up with 3 Axolotyl about 3 weeks ago.

They were unwanted and have come through several hands at this stage so detail regarding their background and care are non existent however the large male came with a large growth on his tail.I have searched the net and come up with a blank regarding what this might be.I am hoping someone might have some suggestions and also advise what I should do about it ( if anything)

I have attached photos hopefully they come through

Well, for lack of other opinions ATM, it honest looks like a tumor. I am no vet and I have no experience with such things, but from my research on it, that looks most likely. I would suggest taking him to a vet if at all possible and, remember, some tumors are benign and axolotls tend to be pretty good at dealing with them!
 
Thanks for that thought I was thinking something similar.Struggling to find a specialist vet at the moment but will take him to the vet once I find the right one.

    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?
