you need to make sure there are plenty of hides/caves in the tank to allow them their own space, nipping isn't unusual during feeding but if they are overly aggressive to each other then they will need to seperated.
the tail should heal ok but unless your axolotl starts to be able to re-use its leg then amputation may be required.

bare in mind that although black tea baths are beneficial they are slightly acidic so they can cause some discomfort.

    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?
