Hi this is my first post on this forum
So a bit of back story, I got my wild kind of axolotl in April so around 7 months ago and he is now 1 and a half years old
For the last month mooshoo has been floating more and more regularly and now he/she (I’m not sure) is consistently at the top of the tank
I checked the water parameters consistently and they are all perfectly normal
His gills are not curved forward, his tail isn’t kinky and he’s not discolouring and he doesn’t show any other obvious signs of sickness
He eats earth worms regularly but he isn’t as big as a lot of axolotls I see pictures of (def notunderweight)
I live in Sydney aus so it does get hot but I have really good air conditioner in my room so his temperature stays cool
I barely ever see poops so im not sure if it’s constipation - im just not sure why he would be constipated for so long
I’m really worried that it’s a fungus or infection that’s keeping him up the top
I’ve only had reptiles before him so I’m not sure how to diagnose or fix any serious illness if he does have one
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
