Hello!!
So I'm a little worries about my axie. He hasn't been eating a lot lately and I don't know if I should be worried or not. I've tried all the food I have and he is uninterested in all of it. He is an adult measuring about 10 inches long
He doesn't appear sick (no gill fungus), or stressed (gills are relaxed, tail is straight and his movement patterns haven't changed). He has been occasionally gulping up for air and having some slight trouble swimming upwards but he makes it.
I wasn't sure if it was the water quality so I did a 75% water change, added tap water pre treatment (1 ml) and let it cycle. The temperature is 17°C/68°F. Water calcium is 60. Carbonate Hardness is about 10. pH is maybe a 6.5 or 6.6. No2 and No3 are very low. I would say .5 No2 and 0 No3.
I don't know what to do at this point. All help is welcome.
Also if anyone knows what breed he is would be cool to know.
Thanks
Izzy
