Hello i have a golden albino axi that a juvie, He stopped really eating and sometimes sits with his mouth open, This morning he threw up and idk i just feel like he doesnt look healthy, My water is good i check it everyday and the other axi i have is in the same tank looks 100x better. The reason why hes sitting like that in the pictures is i got him with a bad leg so hes a little lopsided. Please help me im still new to axolotls and im getting very scared that this one is going to die.

Can you post your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite and nitrate) and temperature. This info helps us all determine if that is causing them issues.
What are you currently feeding them?

That all seems okay (just do some regular water changes to bring nitrate down a bit, and bring nitrite down to 0). Has he stopped eating completely? Try chopping the nightcrawlers smaller and see if that helps. If you have bloodworms offer them up (they are very messy, you may want to use a feeding jar).
