Hi,
I currently have four axolotls, a wild type, melanistic, golden, and leucistic in a forty gallon tank. My wild type is a lot smaller than the others and I found him being attacked by the golden one today. I took him out and put him in a quarantine tank (ten gal) with my melanistic who was also injured recently. I have been giving the melanistic tea baths every so often. What should I do? I'll try to attach pictures of the wild type (I apologize, this is my first time making thread)

I apologize, I realize that this is under the introductions area but I do not know how to change this.
 
Great move putting the smaller one in another tank. Keep it in there until it reaches the same size of the others.
The pics aren't working for me but you shouldn't need the tea baths, just keep it in clean cool water and any wounds will heal.
When you write a reply there is an attachment bit next to the fonts, see if that works for you. You can attach pics from your computer that way :)
 
I'm not quite sure what happened, but sadly he passed. His injuries were pretty bad so I guess that must of been it. Thanks so much for the advice anyways.
 
Really sorry to hear that. Wishing you the best and health for your other axolotls :(

    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?
