Please help I got this little guy adopted a couple days ago and she has a lump on her leg, I'm wondering if it's like a bruise and will go away or if it's a more permanent thing?

When I got my axolotl a few years ago, she developed a lump on her belly. I was new to axolotls so I took her to an exotic vet (you've never had an experience with a vet until you've taken your pet to the vet in a bucket). She put her in a small tank and angled it to see. She said that my axi looked healthy, the lump wasn't inflammed and not to worry about it. My axolotl is albino, so it was easier to see that. Anyway, in a few months I thought it was going to grow into another leg, but one day it was gone! I think it just fell off. She has no mark where it was at all. I would suggest that you go to a vet to reassure yourself though.

    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?
