Hi
With the recent heatwave I have been battling to keep my axolotls cool but on Friday night I lost one of my axolotls. Before she died her mouth looked quite large like it was full of food. She decided she wanted to hang out near the surface all the time and refused to eat.
Now my remaining axolotl also doesn't eat, when I tried feed her she blows air out rather than sucking the food out? I'm a bit lost as to what is wrong. Temperature is back down to normal and she generally looks okay, although a tiny bit of white stuff on her foot (she tends to get this on her gills, I've added some antibacterial in case)
Has anyone got any ideas or suggestions as I don't want to lose another axolotl. I tested the water and ammonia was the only thing slightly higher as my pump had gone weird but I changed the water and pump is fully working.
