Hello everybody, I have two axolotl, one leucistic, one GFP wild type in 40 gallon tanks and I am very worried about the Wild Type because his or her throat is swollen...
The wild type is eating Very Very well and eats Most of the food BUT the gills are curled, not too much but its worrying me a lot and its been like this for about three weeks now.
The leucistic is doing very fine, the gills are not curled at all and eats fine, swims freely, float and hang on ornaments.
That tells me that the wild type is sick or stressed but I don`t know what is causing it and the mouth is never fully closed.
The wild type also swims around freely floats and hangs on the ornaments...
the water test shows ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 10, water hardness around 300, total alkalinity around 40, and ph around 7.8. I do my water change every week sometimes twice a week when there is too much poop on the fine sand.
Please help I am new to axolotls and its worrying me T^T
