Hey guys,
Been going through the forum and noticed a handful of people also had this problem.
My new bought axolotl is 7inches long, healthy looking gills and body. It fed well on frozen blood worms when first bought, however it has stopped eating for the past week and also has lost its active behaviour.
My axxie has clear looking strands attached to its bottom, seems to be stuck and swollen. Every now and then it will thrust on the gravel in a pull/push motion, or has even done one-armed push up motions against the tank wall.
I suspect he's swallowed gravel as we watched him swallow and spit whilst eating. The gravel has since been changed to large pebbles, and the existing wooden log has been taken out.
Water temp is 22degC and PH is neutral.
Wondering if anyone had suggestions or treaments?
Cheers
