I currently have 3 axolotls, Lottie, Gluttony and Hohenheim.
Hohenheim is my golden albino and has for reasons I can't discern he has stopped eating.
My other 2 are eating fine and happy, I've checked my water and the levels and temperature are all good.
Hohenheim is hungry and while occasionally expresses that he does not want to eat a worm most often reacts and comes to me for food.
I've managed to get the worm in his mouth but it usually gets spat out quickly or on a few occasions was fully swallowed and then a minute to three minutes later rejected and spat out.
He has an easier, though messier, time trying to eat bloodworms... unfortunately being an adult those aren't enough for him not to mention many that get swallowed end up leaving through his gills.
Besides wanting to eat a worm and trying to eat bloodworms I can manage to get him to keep down a few axolotl pellets. He has no interest in eating the guppy I got for him.
Can anyone think what might be wrong? If there is anything else I can try or an alternative food source that I haven't thought of?
Here is to hoping someone can help! Thanks for your time.
Weird picture I know but, one of my more recent ones. For some reason he enjoys just sitting on my hand. He likes to swim up and sit on me. hoping to find something I can place in the water for him to rest on higher up.
