I recently ordered an axolotl online and it arrived shortly afterwards. I have had it since Tuesday, it's about 3 inches long and seems to be eating fine, I am feeding it amphibian pellets that I got from a local pet store. It eats daily, which I read was important for juveniles. I do have a filter in its aquarium but it doesn't seem to move the water too much. Everything seems to be just the way it should be, I did a lot of research before I ordered one. Although I think i have everything in order my axolotls gills are very curved and all it does is sit in a corner until I feed it, then it swims over and chomps away. Is my axolotl sick? why are it's gills so curved? I read that was a sign of stress and can lead to death. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
