I have two axolotls that I have had for a few months and both seem happy and healthy but this is a question I am trying to decipher.
How much food is too much?
My big axolotl this is not a problem as he stops eating when he is full but my little girl just eats and eats and eats.
I always siphon the tank or remove any dropped pellets post feeding but have had problems with my girl getting a gill infection and then little planaria worms in her tank, which is apparently due to poor water quality.
Does this mean I am over feeding her? She is always looking for more after I feed her but once she ate so many dried axie pellets she had a bit lump on her side as she digested them all.
Is this normal?
Also what tests should I be doing to check on water quality? I currently have kits for PH and Ammonia. Is there anything else I should test for?
Thanks heaps for any help,
Kat
