I have a wild type, female axolotl, who has always been bigger than my other babies. I used to just drop the food in there and let them go at it, but this axolotl would eat all of the food herself, and as such got very fat. I have since started hand feeding them so they all get the same amount of food, but she's still much bigger than my other axolotls. I don't know if this is still her being fat from that early overfeeding, if it's just because she's female and my others are male, or if this is bloat. She isn't acting sick in any way, she has always been my healthiest and easiest to care for, which is why I'm asking in the first place. How do I tell if my lotl is just fat, or if she's got a bloat?
I don't have any good pictures that display the fat belly, so I'll try and get some tomorrow.
