Well, I feel I have tried everything
I got my Axie 2 weeks ago and as yet he hasn't eaten I thought he ate a worm a few days ago but I have just found it under a rock, so he must have spat it back out. Also his belly looks very bloated and he hasn't pooed (probably because he hasn't eaten), so I have decided that if he refuses to eat today then he's going in the fridge.
I have a couple of questions, do you put them in a tub with their own tank water or do you give them fresh? (I have a lovely source of fresh pond water in the garden, but would the sudden temp drop upset him?) also, do you continue to try to feed them when they are in there?
Finally (sorry) when do you get them back out? is it when they start to eat again?
I just can't think what the problem could be, The tank is 3ft with sand substrate, 2 different hidey holes, lots of plants and an under gravel filter so barely any water movement. I have just tested the water parameters, temp= 18C, Ammonia = 0, nitrate = 0, nitrite = a small amount but barely on the scale. pH = 7.5
I'm baffled
