Hi all,
My axy Sir axolot. Has developed a white lump on his lower lip. He's still eating fine. It doesn't seem to be bothering him but does anyone know what it may be.

I would get that checked out by a vet - it could be a cyst or abscess of some kind - possibly caused by infection in a tiny cut.

    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?
