Illness/Sickness: Part of tail missing, is it okay or infected? how can I help?

[JMitsch223]

Hi everyone, so I'm fairly new to axolotls and I've had two of them for about half a year now. About a few days ago I noticed my white axolotl was missing part of his tail. I'm not sure if his tank mate did it or if he did it himself or what happened and I know with time it heals but it looks like he's in constant pain and I wanna make sure it's not infected or anything and what I can possibly do to help him out.

Scroll down to "Health and Illness." Something there should be able to help you.

taking him out of the tank so he can heal in a clean isolation tub might help, it should be "scabbed" over in a few days then slowly regrow with time. Watch for infection but if you keep them cool and clean that looks like a wound that will heal on its own
