Hi all,
I haven't posted in here in absolutely ages but Felix and I have been doing well, so well that we've just come into a new 25g tank and have purchased a new wild-type axy.
Both of them are around 15cm, but the new one had some damage done to it in my LFS, by a larger Axy. It has a wound on the side that I think is healing up well, and is coloring up really well, but this foot is worrying me as the digits all look very crooked. There's another foot with only 1 toe left which is actually healing up very quickly so I'm glad. They're eating pellets and bloodworms, and the temp is always 16-18oC.
So my basic question is: should I amputate the crooked foot, and should I wait for the 4 other toes to grow back so that it can heal better?
Cheers all
