Hi! about 3 or 4 days ago my partner were given an Axolotl (I named him Mudkip) and when we got him, the tank he was in was FILTHY! we couldn't even see him and there was only 6-8cm of water in the bottom of the tank. the first few days he barely moved, he was very sluggish and just quite subdued he wouldn't eat and pretty much just made himself as small as possible in the corner of his tank.
A couple of days later he seemed to be perking up (his tank was cleaned the day we got him and we got some extra filters to help sift out the **** that was in there originally, though all of them are pointed at the tank wall to avoid currents that would make him unhappy) he was moving around more and even seemed to be happier though he still wasn't eating.
Today he ate maybe 2 pellets and 1 meal worm. He has been swimming to the top of his tank and back and moving around a lot more. He seems a lot happier than when we first got him I am still just concerned that he isn't eating very much.
