So a little over a month ago I bought two axolotls. Both leucistic (I believe) one with very bright pink gills (El) and one with whitish gills (Leo). When I bought them they were the same size, and both already had all four legs. Both seem fairly happy in their tank, and they both eat, although El eats much more than Leo. Well it's been a month and El is almost double the size of Leo! I'm scared if she gets any bigger I'll have to move Leo to a different take to prevent him from getting eaten! Is Leo just a late bloomer or could he be sick? Or could this be a gender thing (they aren't big enough yet for me to actually tell gender). They both seem to be eating and neither of their gills seem flipped back, and I haven't noticed any slime on either. My tank is usually 66 degrees and their Ammonia and Nitrite seem to cycle normally, although my PH is still high at 7.6. Please help! Is Leo sick? And should I move him to a different tank?
