Hi, my Axolotl Ludo looks like his tail is damaged? I got him November of last year and he’s about 8 months old.

It kindof looks like he just wedged it somewhere and got it stuck and that’s how he probably injured. My axolotl had a random injury on his tail and he was just fine. It should heal fine, and I wouldn’t worry about too much! Ludo is such a cute name!

I’d keep an eye on it ofc just to make sure it doesn’t seem to get worse or anything

Some of the baby axolotls I work with at school have had tails that look like that so it’s nothing to really worry about.

Thank you so much! That’s what I assumed but I just wanted to be sure :)
I named him after the monster is the 1986 labyrinth movie!
 
Awww! I like it. Mine are named Mudkip and Kirby. His tank setup looks really really nice! Do you have a whole picture of it?
 
Here you go! I like your names too :) Mudkip is a really cute name

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu

    I believe my axolotl is constipated. I got him 8 days ago and have not seen any poop in his tank. I have a 20 gallon tank. No other tank mates. 2 hides and a bare bottom. I didn't feed him the last two days. His belly looks swollen and dark in color. I believe it is the food you can see. I fed him blood worms and soft quick sinking axoloty pellets. I tested his water today. Ph was 7.6. The nitrite and nitrate were both zero. The ammonia was 0.25 ppm. I was advised to cycle my tank due to the lack of nitrate. I added Seachem stability 10 ml to my tank yesterday and 5 ml today. I have a tank chiller. The water temp is set at 64. He is still active, but his tail floats up when he is moving about the tank. I am on the fence about fridging him. I also don't know how long to go without feeding him. I don't want to harm him. Please help asap. Thank you.
