Hello
Im wondering if anyone can help, a long post to give background info:
I have had my axie zero for two years approx and he has always been roughly the same size so im unsure how old he was when i got him.
I feed him on dendrobeana worms (not sure of exact spelling) from my wormery but in the last month he has been on and off food to the point now where he is completely refusing food.
I did a water check and everything was correct apart from a slightly high PH.
I was advised by another keeper that the water dechlorinator i was using was incorrect as it has aloe vera in it (which it did not mention on the packaging)
So i was advised to tub him as he is so underweight from not eating and that his gills where diminished- aparrently due to the aloe. (however i will say that im not sure they have ever been really big and fluffy,)
so he has been tubbed with daily water changes for about 5 days now and has only eaten once.
I have tried waxworms, bloodworms and prawn but he is not interested. I am in the process of setting up a better tank for him including cycling.
I have attached a photo of him currently
My question is, if it is the water conditioner that has causedhim to be unwell how long will it take for him to start to feel better
And how long can he go on refusing food
Im so worried about him so any advice is welcome
