Hi
I have a sick axolotl...
Anyone already seen an axolotl swimming upside down ?? I mean he doesn't look capable of keeping his legs down ... he have the bottom side up... he moves but is doesn't have balance anymore...
Also, his gills are really not developped... I see three pins on each side of his head but there's no hair at all (like I see on pictures).... I don't know if there's a bad bacteria or something but...
I never seen fungus and my axolotl is small to see if there's someting about his gills...
I have it for almost 2 months ... temperature is 22-23... he's about 3-4 months old ...
First he ate each day...
now he eat 1 day on 2 ...but today it's the first time I see him walking and swimming badly like this ...
He's also skinny... he don't really look healthy like the pictures I see on the website....
Also, the fins aroung his tail looks to be shrinking slowly... as the creature itself ...
I really don't know what to do and it hurt me to look him like this ...
Please help me !
Thanks
Martin
