So i posted a while back about a spot being on my axolotl’s mouth and it went away for a while and it came back. I dont see any white spots or anything on her gills or anything but i am a little concerned again that there may be something wrong. Im hoping its just from the platic plants or something but im not sure. Heres a picture and if anyone can help me in maybe healing it somehow or if i should quarentine her let me know thank you. :)

It actually doesn't look to bad to me. I wouldn't worry much about it, just keep an eye on it for the next couple of weeks to make sure it heals properly. It should heal up on its own pretty easily. Are there any other axolotls in the tank? I wouldn't say that there is a need to quarantine her, as she seems to be happy and healthy looking in the picture, and the spot isn't going to effect the other axolotls in any way. If you feel that it isn't healing up fast enough, you could add almond leaves to your tank. You can find them pretty cheap online. They have antibacterial and soothing qualities which help speed up the healing process :)

    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?
