Hello all
I am new to this. Have had my axie since Christmas and he is not looking well. He was pale gold but has now turned dark orange after eating two feeder fish. He has not eaten for 5 days.
I did have a few feeders in the tank with him but they were annoying him and nibbling his gills so I have taken them out. He now has no cotton left on his gills (was that normal anyway?) and is spending his whole time floating right at the surface. His eyes are a little bit puffy and his face is wrinkly. He takes a large gulp of air every now and then.
It has been very hot here. Tank was about 24 degrees but I have just put an ice brick in and it is down to 20.
Help!
