Hi guys,
i know this is out of the blue, and some people might laugh inwardly at this but do axolotls share a sort of bond with each other? i bought a new female today (Lawliet) and she exhibits behaviour i've seen before that look close to an 'outcast' situation. Paolo is my largest female and is quite inquisitive and will walk up to lawliet for a 'look-see'. and at some point Quetzo and Paolo stay completely away from lawliet as if unsure. when Quetzo was unwell i took her away from the main tank (5 foot) and Paolo refused to eat and sat in a corner for 5 days. it wasn't until quetzo was slowly introduced back again did she gain her appetite and started 'playing' again. lawliet is the same size as quetzo and is safe from being eaten so im sure its not a threatening presence that's scaring both of each other away.
sorry for this.....
