Hello, I have 2 separate issues going on with my female axolotl currently. The first is that she is growing increasingly bloated, but she isn’t floating and she’s still acting normal, so I’m not entirely sure why. At first I thought she was pregnant, because she is with a male axie of the same age (I purchased them together and one ended up being a boy, the other a girl.) However, she’s getting bigger and bigger in the belly and I’m getting quite concerned.

The other issue is that Zeppelin (the male) bit off a chunk of her tail.

So first, any ideas as to why she’s so round? And second, how do I treat her tail?
