A week or so ago I rescued a very sweet pair of Axolotl from a friend of a friend who wasn't feeding them properly. They've coped with moving tanks (twice) like troopers and seem to be settling in nicely. Until tonight when one of them got his head caught in a small decorative cave I'd put in for them to hide behind/in.
We moved it around until he managed to wiggle out, but when he stopped thrashing around the tank he was bleeding from what looked like just under his right gill.
He seems all right now, have covered their tank and last I saw he was sitting in a corner, seemed to be breathing without difficulty and there weren't any more signs of blood and I didn't want to risk reopening anything by moving him.
So, (and I hate to ask demanding questions without even saying Hi, so will be over in the Introduction forum in a sec ) is there anything I should be wary of, need to keep an eye out for or do?
