Hi, in June I got a 3" axolotl. He's been in a 10 gallon tank(I have a 20gal in the garage for when he needs it) The water temperature is 65-67 degrees, ammonia is at 0, the tank has been cycled for 2-3 months now and was cycled before I got him. He's on a sand substrate and has live plants and a hideout(as well as some other decor- driftwood/rocks).
I'm a bit worried about him. He spends a lot of the day floating at the surface. He also doesn't seem to want to eat. I've offered pellets, freeze dried bloodworms, and live bloodworms. I haven't tried earthworms yet because he's still pretty small, but if you think I should try it I will. I've tried feeding him in a separate container and his tank, but most of the time he just ignores the food. I'm not new to fishkeeping(had saltwater/fresh for 6-7 years), i'm just new to axolotls. I'm really worried about him! Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance
