Hi
We got our first Axolotl last week, she's only a baby, about 3 inches long. The pet shop didn't seem to know much about them, so the only info we've got is from books and the internet, but they all seem to differ.
She's in a 24" tank, and the water is 3 or 4 inches deep. The water is untreated but left to stand for 24 hours, and is around 20.5 degrees C. Not sure about the pH. The gravel is about 6mm, but we're planning on getting larger stones tomorrow, as we've seen her pick up (and spit out) a few stones. We feed her 3 or 4 bloodworms a day (from frozen). Is this too much/not enough?
She's looking a little bit fat, so we were wondering if we're feeding her too much, and she's been floating a bit. She did gulp some air when she ate earlier, so is this anything to worry about? Should we move her to somewhere a little cooler?
We really love her and we want to make sure she's ok!
