Hello!

I have an approximately 1-year-old male leucistic axolotl named Skippy. A while ago, I noticed what looked like a blood blister or a red pimple on his right side just behind his forelimb. I thought he had whacked himself on something, and that it was just a bruise and would go away on its own. It hasn't, so I need help identifying it and figuring out what to do next. It doesn't seem to bother him, but I worry that it is a tumor or a bacterial infection. I've attached a picture.

Any help would be appreciated. He's a class pet in a high school classroom and my students would be devastated if anything were to happen to Skippy.

    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?
