Hello, I am very new to this blog as well as new to axolotl parenting. I have been very stressed since I bought my male leucustic axolotl David a week ago. He is very small and only about an inch and a half long. He seemed to be ok and eating fine, pooping etc however, the air conditioning in my apartment was broken and the tank water was warm. I since got the ac fixed and have been cooling his tank to below 70F. All of his water parameters are fine, he has plenty of hides, very low lighting, a sand substrate and there is little to no movement in the tank. I went away for 2 days and came back and noticed he was a bit jumpy and now he is hiding under a plant and I noticed his tail is curved a bit at the end and I also noticed some dark speckles on his head and along his spine. Is he going to be ok? Did I stress him out from scaring him? Should I change his diet? He's currently only eating bloodworms because I thought he was too small to eat anything bigger.
