Hello.
I purchased two lovely axolotls the other day from a local pet/exotic store. Both seem to be in very good shape gill wise and weight however my melanistic axolotl, Bone, has what I was told was a healed over mouth injury. I got them for a discount because of this.
However I want to make sure I wasn't lied to. The pet store claims that the axolotl came to them from the breeder with the injury and that it was healed. I don't know much about what cuts look like on them. So I guess three questions:
1. Is it healed or is it still healing?
2. If it isn't healed how can I help It? The tank is at 66°F 18.88°C. Tank is cycled with ammonia .00 nitrite .00 and nitrate between 5-10ppm. pH about 7.3.
3. If it is healed will the skin ever be black like the rest of his body?
Help a newbie axolotl dad out?
I included some photos of Bone, one from the store and two from the first day I had them in the tank.
