Poorly baby

Hi All,

My biggest golden baby seems to be ill.

Visibly there's nothing obvious wrong, however he is very sluggish and will let me physically push him around the tank without darting off.

He ate last night, but only if I dropped the food right in front of him.

I have done a 70% water change with dechlorinated water (he is still in a small tank so i change the water daily).

The other babies seem fine so I separated him off before I did the change.

Anyone got any ideas what it could be ?

I have been feeding frozen bloodworm.

Thanks

Karen

yeah everything seems fine. He's a bit more lively today so hopefully whatever it was has gone :)

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
