Hello,
First timer on the forum. I subscribed to ask questions.
I own two axies that are now adults (20+ cm) one male and one female. Have them both since more than half a year. The male is doing something weird since some days. He looks completly normal, eats no problem, isn't stress etc...
But since a few days i see one of his eyes "blink". You know, like when they swallow. He comes near the glass and move around and there's his eye that just blink like a swallow (he isn't trying to eat something).
So... Since he looked fine i dind't think reallly much of it.
But today he did something odd. He was lying on the floor. Just normal. And he started flickering or waving his tail. Like he was cold or something. Not a big shake just... vibrating i guess ?
He stopped it after moving and resume to do his thing but two weird things come to alarm me a little as i grew found of those two bad boys
Water parameters are normal. We just cleaned the tank, changed a little water (something like 15 percent).
Also i noticed something else on both axies. Sometime (and really sometime) it's like they are peeling from their nose. My wife says it's their mucus. It's not white and doesn't look like anything you can see on pictures of sick axolotl.
Dunno what i can tell you more.
TL;DR
- Water ok.
- 200L tank
- Axolotl friendly substrate
- no little stones
- 18 degrees.
- 2 axies (23 and 20 cm)
- Male and female
- Male right eye twitching/blinking
- Male tail vibrating
- Sometime little peel on their nose (can't take pictures because they don't have it right now).
Hope someone can clear me of the doubts. 'cause it kinds put my gills forward if you know what i mean
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english
Rude.
