Hey!
I've jst joined the forum cos I'm having some problems with my axie, I've had him for about a month now but lately he hasn't seemed too well. He used to be really good and swim around a bit but mainly stay on the bottom for the first few weeks but last week he floated on the top for about 3 days and I was really worried. I didn't know what to do but then he seemed alright and returned to the bottom. But now he has returned to floating on the top for almost a week now so I'm really worried. I used to have to little fish in the tank and I'm worried that they were nibbling his gills so I took them out today. But I don't know whether he is bloated or someone even said he might be metamorphasing as he has not many gill filaments left and at first he was gulping for air and trying to propel himself out the water at first and then just floating. I think he might be quite sick or something but I really have no idea what to do.
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
Cheers
Bec
