Hi there. This is my first time posting. I need some help... I noticed my male axolotl rubbing his cloaca on the floating plants early yesterday morning. I figured he was producing a spermatophore. He was. He's done this before. The thing is, he seemed to have problems actually expelling it? He's always placed these on the rocks on the bottom of the tank, never in the plants. After about an hour of rubbing himself on pretty much everything in the tank, it came out. He continued rubbing on things and another spermatophore was released but it took like almost 4 hours this time. When I went to sleep he was still swimming around and rubbing on things. I woke up this morning, he's still rubbing, and he is extremely irritated/raw. It looks like maybe He's got another one stuck in there??
I have included pictures.
Any help that anyone has would be greatly appreciated! I don't want him to continue to torture himself like this.
I'm not too sure if this could be related, but I moved A BUNCH of eggs from my main tank to a nursery tank 7 days ago. (He and my female decided to surprise me)
He's also been hanging out around the top of the tank... Looks so tired...
Thanks so much for any advice you can pass this way
