Hi all,
We're new to this group as we recently acquired our axolotl. We raised him/her from an embryo, and now s/he's about 4 months old. Our axie acts totally normal, and has a healthy appetite, but his/her belly is really bloated down. I've attached a picture of what we're seeing (the camera focused on the background, but you get the idea). It is entirely possible that we may be over feeding him/her. We are feeding salmon pellets and bloodworms every 2-3 days. S/he does have some live plants in the aquarium, but there is no sign of nibbling on those.
Any help would be appreciated -- also, and help on sexing would be great too!
Thanks so much, and we look forward to learning from you all.
