My husband and I have 2 pet axolotls. Our oldest Hermes we've had for years and love love love him! We decided a few months ago to get a second one. Cedric has us absolutely puzzled. We are experienced in raising axolotls, keep the tanks both in perfect condion, regular 50% water changes. Nitrates and nitrites, ph, everything is perfect. Yet Cedric seems to be constantly floating.
He eats normal. At first we thought the floating was due to him gulping so much air at the surface when we fed him. He would float for a little while and then eventually he would be fine. I caught him burping up air bubbles one time and he was fine(not flaoting anymore).
We keep our tanks temps between 66 and 67 degrees, water is clear, no signs of stress (other than floating) or sickness!
We got him from the same trusted breeder as we got Hermes from. We picked Cedric because he was in a bowl by himself since he was a bit older and larger than the new hatchlings they had. We're taking better care of him than we did with Hermes since we now know more about taking care of Axolotls. But we just can't figure out what the heck is going on with him
ANY info, sugestions, help would be much appreciated!!!!!
