Hello! I recently noticed a short of translucent flap hanging on my axis' tail. It looks like it could be dead skin but I'm worried that it might also be fungus. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could knows how I should treat this. Thanks!

Little hard to tell from picture but it looks like when the end of my axis tail tip grew back after it had been nipped off. I don't think it's anything to worry about

My 5yo wild gets this too, it’s like the tip rots, regenerates, is ok for a bit, and then repeats. I haven’t come across treatment for it, just make sure there’s nothing in the tank that is sharp, or tankmates that are nipping at it.
Also keep the water and tank clean so no nasty infection can get a hold :)

Okay thank you all very much I hadn’t noticed anything sharp in the tank but I will be paying very close attention to see if there could be something hazardous.

    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?
