Hello,
I recently bought two axolotls, they seemed ok until yesterday when i woke to discover Nim-a-nim floating, I took the lid off and he swam backl down. But when I tried to feed him he ignored me. Onyx ate straight out of my hand as she likes to have her food elevated from the floor. Nim-a-nim doesn't like it when i put my hand near to feed him so i usually leave it on the exsposed glass. I have never seen Nim eat so Onyx could be eating it all. Also, they both seem to be floating a bit and sitting next to the airstone or filter to gulp air. Is this normal? Do you have any ideas on how I could make sure Nim eats properly?
Many thanks, Lexii
P.S. I should mention the axolotls are somewhere between 9 and 12 months. Not sure how old they were when the pet shop aquired them.
