I just got a young axolotl, eve, 3 days ago, she's about 3.5 inches long. She ate the first day but hasn't been eating since. I have her tubbed in a Rubbermaid tub while I'm waiting for the tank to cycle. I've been changing her water every day after trying to feed her. She turns away when I hold food in front of her with tweezers, I've been trying with frozen blood worms and frozen brine shrimp. Today when I came home from work there were 3 blood worms on the floor (regurgitated I think?). I noticed the tip of her bottom left gill lost its fluff and turned red..can anyone help me? Is she sick? i attached some pictures of the gills too. I think she's also stressed from what I've read cause her gills are curled forward..
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
