So i have an axie thats around 5 months old. While i was changing his water not too long ago (clearly i haven't read much about axolotls then) i disturbed the water quite a lot and he seemed to have lost it. When i was done he went around swimming really fast from side to side in the middle of the aquarium, sort of like a snake. Somewhy, i thought that if i took him in my hand it would calm it off but he didn't care at all and just swam away and finally settled. However after all of this his 2 top left gills were curled backwards and are still a bit like that ever since even if i do everything without moving the water a lot. Tried looking things up about this, but haven't found an answer. So my question is: is he sick? should i just wait or actually do something about it, because he seems fine just those two gills are a bit pointing back to his tail.
