Hi, please find attached photos of my axie she’s 2 I’ve had her since Xmas eve...I had another one that I got with her and discovered after abit of hanky panky that my other was a boy! So I’m wondering if he has caught her back! There is some skin from the fin area and a mysterious red blotch underneath?? Hope someone can help...also water is perfect 0 ammonia, cool temp, low flow filter, good PH! And she’s eating!!

Looks like a bite wound and the red spot is just where he got a more fleshy area. If possible I'd separate them while she heals up and would keep them separated if you don't want babies. Keep an eye out for signs of fungus but otherwise she should heal fine on her own

Hi, Thankyou!! Yes they are separate now, a price of skin was hanging at first which has since fallen off...it’s not got bigger or spread so yes keeping a good eye on it!
Great thanks for your reply ?

    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?
