Hello everyone. So a few days ago I found my axolotl on the floor (even though I have a cover, she somehow managed to jump). Thankfully she was still alive when I found her and in a relatively good condition. She had some blisters and a small part of her skin was peeling off. I noticed that she doesn’t move a lot and she hasn’t eaten the past two days, even though she looks better compared to the first day. I checked my water parameters and temp and everything’s normal. I do 30% daily water changes in her tank and I’ve used some almond leaves as well. I don’t know what else to do and I’m worried. I would really appreciate any ideas you may have. Thank you in advance!
 
Hello
She will probably recover.
Now, for the future, it's important to find out why she jumped out of the tank.
If your water is fine, then try to suppress other stress sources, like movements near the tank, vibrations,...
 
It could be a tiger larva, keep HEAVY watch. how old is it, is it dead now?

    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?
