I have just purchased my very first axie, I'm think by what I have read here that its a boy and we have named him 'Gilly' hes 14 cms in lengh. He seems to have deformed front legs, I wondered if anybody could tell me if they will always be like this, although it doesnt seem to stop him getting around. He was sold as a 'gold' axie, although from looking through the site I would have said he was an albino, although he does have a little gold on his head. I have also noticed that he has some white patches on his tail and body - Is this just colouring or something that I should be worried about? I have also read that people feed 'earthworms' are these just dug up from the garden, or from a bait shop? He was being fed catfish pellets, which he loves, but it does tend to make the water cloudy. Gilly went straight into his new 68 litre tank when I got him, which has a filter and airstone and on sand, with a nice hiding place and I also purchased him a moss ball yesterday. I did treat the tank water with water conditioner to remove the chlorine and also an aquarium supplement to mature the tank and filter, but understand from what I have read that I should have cycled the tank, should I now be doing 20% daily water change? I dont want to stress my new little friend. Any advice I would be grateful of. Thank-you.
