Further Update:
Max has been in the fridge for just over a week now and the ammonia levels in his tank have reached zero but with still high nitrite, so working on getting everything to zero before I put him back in (and getting a chiller).
Im just really worried about him not eating. We had him for about a week before we put him in the fridge and in that time he only ate three meal worms just before containment. He hasn't eaten either earthworms cut into small pieces or the meal worms which I knew he did eat since being in the fridge. He seems skinny to me but I might just be overreacting.
Im considering making that 'miracle mash' however I'm currently having trouble locating any axelotl or trout pellets for use. Any other suggestions on how to get him to eat??
The ball thing on his gills is gone, I managed to get it off and there doesn't seem to be any other signs of fungus which is good. So all in all, he seems healthy.
Thanks for all your time, Liz.
