We have a 3 year old male explore who has always previously been healthy has a fairly bad mouth sore. He is still eating frozen bloodwork, live blackstone, and frozen brine shrimp with a feeder fish thrown in every once in a while.

We semi-recently upgraded his tank size from 10 to 20 gallon, added some driftwood from a local aquarium store.

Thanks for any help, he is an important part of our family.

I can’t seem to find the post, but recently someone else posted something about their axolotl having a sore that was very similar. I believe the fix was that they took him to a vet and they rubbed something on the sore to help it heal
 
Did the sore appear after the tank transfer? Have you tested your water parameters?

    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?
