Hi everyone, really hope you can help me. Our axolotl Spot has been bloated for about 3-4 weeks. (at first we just thought he was just getting a lil chubby), now today we noticed a red spot on his lower stomach and his bloating has gotten worse. He however still has an appetite, though now where near as ferocious as it used to be, he is not floating, yet he doesnt swim to the top anywhere near as much as he used to. Today we noticed Spot appeared to be pooing green looking like poo along with solid.
We have just put Spot in the fridge (which I'm still feeling very nervous about)
He has a varied diet including frozen -blood worms, dry cube - tubifex worms, frozen brine shrimp and occasionally feeder fish (which he can still hunt fine). He is not fed everyday. He used to swim to the top every morning when i stuck my head over the tank and said morning, now he barely swims up.
Can someone please provided any suggestions as to what is wrong? and how can we get him better? and is the fridge truely OK for him?
Thank you in advance
Katie
