My axolotl's gills have suddenly decreased in size. His longest ones on each side are about half their original length. I'm assuming they've been bitten off, as some of the fronds are missing in other places, but the affected areas look rounded off, as if theyve healed or shrunk.
Later on, he started twitching, as if snapping for food that isnt there, and keeps doing it.
There's no gravel in the tank that he could have swallowed and he hasnt been fed for at least 24 hours. Nothing other than his gills look out of the ordinary.
Does anyone know why he's twitching? I'm worried
Could the sudden gill deterioration be metamorphosis related?
Here's some pictures of the gills, if it helps. Also, he may be a girl...
