Hi guys,
We moved about a week ago,and since then my axie teela hasn't eaten very much,maybe 3 pellets.i bought some barbs today as live food to try and entice her to eat,but she doesn't seem interested in them at all.
I changed basically everything in her tank,new 1mm gravel,a new bubble powered filter,and added some driftwood.the move was probably a bit of a shock for her,she was in a container for the trip and about an hour after,while i set the tank up.also,we drove in a manual,so it was a bit of a shaky ride.
I have also added some driftwood to her tank for hideys.her water quality hasn't been great,i've been doing 20-50% water changes every day or two.the previous substrate was river stones,so i'm sure it isn't impaction.
I'm worried,as i don't know how long she can go without food for.i know she's been without food for a week before,i left her in the care of a friend who said she had been feeding her mealworms,which upon checking were black and decayed,so would have been dead for a few days.any ideas on getting her to eat would be appreciated.
