Hi all. I recently got my first axolotl about two weeks ago (please excuse my total n00bish questions!). From talking to her breeder, I believe she was about two months old when I got her. I've noticed over just the past few days that her gills have started to creep forward. I know this can indicate stress and it's starting to worry me.
The pics I took when I first brought her home show her gills almost flat back against her head. Now they stick out at ~90 degree angle, but don't curl forward. She still has a good appetite. Could this just be part of her growing up?
I tried to take some pictures, but she is so small that my crummy camera can't focus on her. Should I be concerned? I'm paranoid that my inexperience as an axie raiser will cause her untimely demise!! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
