Hey guys, my axolotl that i have had for about 2 months now has developed a red blister like object in the shape of a ball on his front right foot. I had fridged him for 2 days with no improvement, although he seemed as though he was shedding??:confused: can anyone help he with what this might be? also if axolotls shed or not?

Thanks guys,

Could you post a picture of the blister?

Also, to help us get a better idea of what could have caused this -
What is his tank set up like? (size, substrate, filtration, lighting, decor, plants etc)
Diet?
Anything sharp he could have rubbed on?
Water parameters? (Temperature, ammonia/nitrite/nitrate readings)

    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?
