How to use the body-part guide
Body-part articles are most useful when you connect the visible change to the whole tank context. A mouth, eye, gill, belly, leg, toe, or tail issue should be checked alongside water quality, recent handling, appetite, and whether the change is spreading.
Observation first
Note the exact body area, when it changed, whether both sides look the same, and whether the axolotl is eating, hiding, floating, or reacting normally.
Safety boundary
Swelling, bleeding, fungus-like growth, limb weakness, mouth damage, or rapid decline should be treated as a veterinary question, not just an anatomy lookup.
