Hi,
I have got two Axolotls living together in the same tank. But the more lively of the two is struggling to swim properly. I have lowered the level of water so it makes it easier for him to get to the surface, as he gets half way and gives up! It's heart breaking for me to see.
I have checked the water temperature and that is at 17 Degrees which I am told is the correct temperature....(please correct me if I am wrong, I am a novice).
They also have plenty of Oxygen in the tank as I do have a pump....and they also have plants in there for them aswell. They do however have gravel in the tank, they are larger stones but I am fearful that he may have swallowed a stone (as he is the slightly larger of the two it seems liable). I am however changing this for sand later on today as this I am told is better for them. This was my first choice but I could not find sand in any pet store to me.
I am told that there is a method called 'fridging' that would speed up the process of him passing a stone...
Please help!
